Prove All Things

Prove All Things

Introduction:

I Thessalonians 5:21 proclaims, “Prove all things. Hold fast to that which is good.” It’s imperative that we are able to show to others in God’s Word what we believe and why. Some people ignorantly claim that you can prove anything by the Bible. Such is not true. Certainly there are people who have perverted and abased God’s Word and handled it deceitfully throughout the years. (II Corinthians 4:2) But there are things which can be proven by the Bible. This particular list was composed by Brother David Pharr.

Body:

1. I can prove by the Bible that Christ is the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him (Hebrews 5:9); but there is not a man on earth that can prove the doctrine of faith only. (James 2:24)

2. I can prove by the Bible that grace will pardon the faithful (Titus 3:7); but no one can prove that grace makes sin without repentance acceptable, that grace makes all worship as acceptable as true worship, or that grace makes all marriages acceptable. (Romans 6:1-2,12,15-16)

3. I can prove by the Bible that Christ gave us one church of which He is the head (Matthew 16:18); but there is not a man on earth that can prove Jesus built any denomination. (Ephesians 5:23)

4. I can prove by the Bible that sins are washed away by Jesus’ blood (Ephesians 1:7); but no one can prove sins are removed before one is baptized. (Acts 22:16, I Peter 3:21)

5. I can prove by the Bible that baptism is a burial (immersion); but there is not a man on earth that can prove sprinkling or pouring is acceptable to God. (Colossians 2:12, Romans 6:3-4)

6. I can prove by the Bible that a person who is faithful until death will receive a crown of life (Revelation 2:10); but no man can prove that a Christian can’t fall and be lost. (Luke 8:13, II Peter 2:20-21)

7. I can prove by the Bible that Jesus is coming again (Acts 1:9); but there is not a man on earth that can prove He will set up a throne in Jerusalem and reign on earth for a thousand years. (II Thessalonians 1:7-8, I Thessalonians 4:16-17)

 Conclusion:

Prove all things. Hold fast to that which is good. Trust God’s promise that if you are faithful until death, you will be given a crown of life.
