God's Preservation of His Truth

The Truth is extremely important. Christians know that Jesus is the Truth as He taught us in John 14:6. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." Unless we know the Truth, we are lost and cannot find our way. Jesus is the Living Word that is the Truth. Those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior by faith know the Truth.

Yet, even though a Christian knows the Truth, and can be highly educated in the Word of God, the devil can cause him to doubt. The Bible records that two great men of God, Thomas the Apostle and John the Baptist, had times when they were plagued with doubt. Jesus allayed John's fears in Matthew 11:2-6 by reminding him that God had come to earth to perform great miracles. Jesus displaced Thomas' doubt with faith when He revealed His nail and spear scarred but glorious risen body to Thomas in John 20:24-29. In these two stories, God demonstrates to us that He can overcome our doubts by reminding us of His loving sacrifice and His almighty power.

False religions such as the Roman Catholic Church, false scientists such as Charles Darwin, false Biblical scholars such as Westcott and Hort, and false church historians such as such as Vedder and Whitsitt have caused serious doubts about the almighty power of God to arise in Christian people since the completion of the written Word of God. The Gnostics, and all the other cults and deliberate deceptions,have been the work of satan since Jesus ascended to heaven.

Nevertheless, God has preserved the pure Truth of His Word from the time of the Apostles, through the Antioch church and the Baptist people, to the King James Bible that we hold in our hands. True historians have recorded the preservation of the pure Word of God as prophesied in Psalm 12:6-7. In addition, true historians have recorded that God has preserved His true New Testament churches through the efforts of the Baptist Christians, even despite terrible persecutions, from Pentecost to the present day. 

A careful study of the true history of Christianity, and of the world and true science for that matter, should dispell any doubts instilled into the hearts of Christians by the devil as to the eternal presence of the almighty power of God "throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."
