Costa Rica, Day 2 Part 4

What Are Absolutes?

Our everyday lives find structure in the thousands of things we accept as truths, from the numbers we use to the names of colors and textures. There are absolutes in the Bible, and they are constants in the spiritual realm, just as "2+2" is a constant in the physical realm.

Absolutes of God is about the Word of God and its building blocks of truth -- "the first principles of the oracles of God" (Hebrews 5:12) -- which have been forgotten or misplaced.

In our society, we have insisted that diversity is good. In reality, what we have are divisions created by an ignorance of God's definition of truth. The one Authority who can settle all arguments in the controversies that divide us is the Holy Ghost, and we have ignored Him!

God's desire is that the words He spoke become alive in His people so that He is seen in His church. God wants to be visible, not only to His church, but also to the whole world. He wants to see truth believed and lived out in front of the entire world.

Seven Absolutes of God

1. God's will for man is that he be perfect in Christ Jesus.

2. The knowledge of good and evil does not produce godly believers or healthy Christians.

3. The natural man does not receive the things of God.

4. Every believer must know the voice of God.

5. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher sent from God to indwell every believer.

6. Once we repent of our sins, we become His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

7. The Bible was written both historically and spiritually.

Matthew 13

24	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25	But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26	But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27	So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28	He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29	But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30	Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Matthew 13:24-30

Matthew 13

37	He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38	The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39	The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40	As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41	The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42	And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43	Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 13:37-43

Luke 17

20	And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21	Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22	And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23	And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24	For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25	But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26	And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27	They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28	Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29	But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30	Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31	In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32	Remember Lot's wife.
33	Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34	I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35	Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36	Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37	And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

2 Thessalonians 1

4	So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5	Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6	Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7	And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8	In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9	Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10	When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11	Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12	That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 1:4-12

2 Thessalonians 2

1	Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2	That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3	Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4	Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
