Fusion: week of 8/12

FAMILY THEME: DIVINE TRUTH

Romans 1:20 ; Jeremiah 29:12-14 ; 2 Timothy 3:16 ; 

2 Peter 1:21 ; Hebrews 4:12 ; John 10:27

The truth we believe as Christians is not something we

have made up; it finds its source and foundation in God.

1.  God Has Made Himself Known Through General

     Revelation and Special Revelation

     (Romans 1:20 ; Hebrews 1:1-2 ; Jeremiah 29:12-14)

     God has not hidden Himself from us, but instead He

     has shown us Who He is in a variety of ways.

 
2.  We Can Trust in the Truthfulness of God's Word

     Because of Its Inspiration

     (2 Peter 1:21)

     Men didn't fabricate God's Word, but instead were

     led by His Spirit to write the Scriptures.

 
3.  All Scripture Serves a Purpose in the Lives of Believers

     (2 Timothy 3:16)

     The entire Bible works to change our lives into

     Christ's likeness.

4.  Since God Has Spoken, Whatever He Has Said

     Must Have Authority in Our Lives

     (Hebrews 4:12 ; John 10:27)

     We don't stand in authority over God's Word.

     Instead, It stands over us.
