Those Things Believed Among Us. Luke 1:1 (KJV) states “Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,”. How would this apply to Christians today? We live in a world today where Christianity is under attack everywhere we turn. From taking the ten commandments out of our courthouses to eliminating prayer in public events, Christianity is losing ground to a secular, anti-God mindset. Christians should be able stand on the Word of God, like fundamental biblical truths, but we should be able to defend them as well. As the old saying goes, “Prepare for your finals, study the Bible”. The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. There are many fools today. Perhaps God would not want us to argue with the fool for scripture doesn’t argue the existence of God, it’s a given fact. Scripture tells us that God’s creation declares His existence, so man is without excuse. Paul says in Romans 1:16-22 (KJV) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”. The lesson on September 7th, 2003 teaches on fundamental truths we should know and defend on behalf of Christ.
