October 3, 2023 – How to Distinguish Between Truth and Untruth
1 John 1:1-2
Sermon: 2099 The Sweetest Fellowship This Side of Heaven, Part 2
Pray Over This
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us.”
1 John 1:1-2
Ponder This
There was a college professor who was an atheist, and he loved to ridicule his students. He asked his students, “Have any of you ever heard God?” Nobody answered. “Any of you ever seen God?” Nobody answered. “Have any of you ever touched God?” Nobody answered. He said, “So, there is no God.” All the students were amazed until one student lifted his hand and said, “Professor, may I ask a question to the class?” He said, “All right.” He said, “Have any of you heard the professor’s brain?” Nobody answered. “Have any of you touched the professor’s brain?” Nobody answered. “Have any of you seen the professor’s brain?” Nobody answered. He said, “Then we can conclude the professor has no brain, according to his logic.”
John said what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, we declare to you. The Bible says if we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. I don’t depend on speech or illustration or logic to convince you. Thank God the Holy Spirit of God is here to say what is true. That is the witness of God. Jesus is an eternal fact; Jesus is a physical fact; Jesus is a spiritual fact; and the Holy Spirit of God testifies to the Lord Jesus Christ.
