WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH TRUTH? · INVESTIGATION 35

Truth Begins and Ends With Jesus

What is the point of knowing prophecy if we do not know Christ?

The purpose of Bible truth is not intellectual superiority. Scripture leads to Jesus, repentance, faith, worship, transformation, and hope. Christ is the Creator, Savior, risen Lord, High Priest, coming King, and center of the final message. A person can correctly identify prophetic symbols and still miss the heart of the gospel.

Reformation principle. Truth is not merely information to possess. It is a call to follow Jesus.

SCRIPTURE TO EXAMINE

Read the biblical evidence

  • John 5:39–40Scripture testifies of Christ and is meant to lead people to Him.
  • John 14:6Jesus identifies Himself as the way, the truth, and the life.
  • Revelation 14:12The final saints have both God’s commandments and the faith of Jesus.
STRONGEST OBJECTION OR ALTERNATIVE READING

Examine the challenge

A Christ-centered approach should not become an excuse to avoid doctrines Jesus and the apostles taught. Christ and doctrine are not enemies.
