Truth Unchanging ( 3 John v 4 )

We have been considering Hebrews 13 v 8 .'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever',P'E.Hughes writes,'If Jesus Christ is unchanging, so also is the truth concerning him, with the consequence that there can be no place for differing and discordant doctrines.In Christ we have the completion as well as the source of faith.' There are  things, as Christians , we will differ on,secondary things,but there are truths,doctrines that we are expected to hold fast to.Truth is of the utmost importance,the belief in the Trinity, that God is one God, but three coeternal consubstantial persons,the Father,the Son( Jesus Christ)and the Holy Spirit- as 'one God in three Divine persons' The incarnation of Jesus, ,one who was truly man and truly God,his sinlessness, his death on the cross as a sacrifice for sin,his bodily  resurrection,and his ascension to heaven and his return to judge the quick and the dead..We could also mention hell,and that all who have not had their sins forgiven, by trusting in Christ,will be condemned to that awful place for eternity.There are many other truths I could mention,and in my daily notes I do write on them,we must hold fast to God's truths,they are unchanging,beware of ignoring this.( Revelation 22 v 18 - 20 )
