Running Ahead of God

1:9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in this teaching has both the Father and the Son.

2 John 1:9

Key Point: Following God’s Word is essential to Christ-like living

If we had it to do all over again, what would we do differently?

In what ways have our view of Scripture changed?

Fundamental crisis in many denominations = Authority

Bible under attack – even by evangelicals!

Different evangelical approaches:

Key = Trust!  Theology/Ideology vs. Trustworthy Text

Evidence for the reliability of the Bible

Evidence for Message of 2 John - Truth & Love combat False Teachings and Self-centered Arrogance

Don’t tolerate humanly defined “tainted truth”

Speak the truth in love

Don’t run ahead of God!

Hold fast to incarnate Christ!

Love obediently!
