“Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.” (1 Corinthians 15:1)
In our postmodern world today which is heavily plagued with secular humanism, new age philosophies and religious pluralism, not a few Christians are shying away from standing up for what they believe, or, perhaps I should say that they are losing their belief in what they used to stand for.
According to findings published on evidenceandanswers.org, “53 percent of adults in church believe there is no absolute truth. Among youth in church, research shows that 57 percent do not believe an objective standard of truth exists.”
This is a frightening development indeed. But we must not be surprised as this is the direct fulfillment of Scripture.
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” (1 Timothy 4:1)
Christianity is premised on the belief in absolute truth, for Jesus is the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. He is not a truth but the truth. This is the gospel we have received and believed, and on which we are supposed to take our stand.
When it comes to the modern perversion in sexuality and the entire LGBT+ phenomenon for example, I keep on hearing many supposed Christians passing neutral comments as though the Bible does not have an absolute stance on it.
Instead of sitting on the fence and expressing neutral views concerning all the contemporary ideas we are confronted with, we are admonished to take our stand on the gospel and be counted for what we truly believe.
Remain inspired!
