Is general revelation enough to get a person into heaven? And what does this say about the fairness of God? This week, Pastor Lutzer begins our discussion about God's justice.
"For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off."
- Psalm 37:28
The minute you begin to add to the Gospel, you are actually subtracting from it.This week, Pastor Lutzer speaks to us about the truth that belongs only to the Father.
"Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth."
- John 17:17–19
Error that is contrary to God's truth may work for a time—but you must ask, "What does it work for, and for how long?" Let's look at the difference between false "truth" and God's truth.
"Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth."
- Colossians 1:5b-6
The Bible has been dissected and vilified by the world and yet it endures with coherency. This week, Pastor Lutzer instructs us on God's consistent truth from James 1:18.
"Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."
- James 1:18
