The Gift of His Word

G. Thomas Sharp • February 14, 2022

     If the reader has not had the privilege to read after Dr. E.W. Bullinger, they must as soon as it is convenient! They should get a copy of his commentary on Hebrews, his work on The Two Natures in the Child of God, or one of his other volumes (they are all priceless) and spend a profitable afternoon bathing in his ineffable wisdom.

     Bullinger begins chapter one in The Two Natures by quoting John 3:6, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”, and immediately follows with this challenge: he tells us that there is an abundance of negative remarks said today about the ultimate authority of the New Testament, a reflection of the modern conflict between evolutionary and biblical worldviews.

     I say to you that the critical attacks of the evolutionists are an exercise in futility. After all, Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things, He is eternal, immutable and the epitome of truth, and because He is, He is above their perceived errors! Anything Jesus did or said was perfect and above any legitimate criticism. This is true, principally because Jesus is the incarnate God and Creator of the universe.

     Men say these things, not because they desire a closer walk with the Lord Jesus, but because they wish to lower the authority of the teaching of the Apostle Paul (and other Biblical authors), and to effectively rid theology of these influences! As for a vis-á-vis confrontation with Jesus, or Paul, or Peter, they will have none of it! From this exposure they turned their back and showed incredible disinterest. This same attitude was expressed in John 6:65-66, “And He said, ‘…that no man can come to Me, except it were given unto him of My Father.’ From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.”

     Jesus made it incredibly clear that no man could come to Him unless it is given to them by the Father! The Apostle Peter acknowledged this clarity within the battle of the two natures when Jesus asked them in John 6:67-69, “‘Will you also go away?’  Then Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that you are that Christ, the Son of the living God.’”

Lighthouse in front of a Milky Way Galaxy sky

As we begin a new year, it brings new potential and a figurative “clean slate”. Yet at all times it is always good to remember that the Lord never changes and neither does His purposes. His desire is that all come to Him for salvation. As it is not all will seek their Creator, yet He is always at work around us guiding life through the present sinful, cursed world. His purposes are always to bring glory to himself as our Great Almighty Lord God. This divine guiding, moving, and protecting of His Spirit in the affairs of life is called Providence , our theme for the year here at Creation Truth. His Providence has always been at work since the beginning, guiding for the purpose he has designed us for. Over the course of history, we as people have missed it or chosen not to follow it. Providence of the Lord is what guided His people out of Egypt to the Promised Land. Even while suffering judgment for their sin in the desert, there was Providence , providing for their needs with daily manna and encouraging them on to the Promised Land. At just the right time, Providence bestowed to us a Savior, Jesus Christ. Never would we have planned or made provision for the Savior of the world in the manner He came to earth. All of His work while in the flesh was done to point us to Him and His Glory. Providence was fulfilled on the cross for all eternity with the way for all to find the Lord and salvation, to be guided out of death and overcome the trial of this life through His death, burial and resurrection. Providence , 250 years ago, guided our country’s forefathers to seek a land to freely worship their Creator and Savior, with freedom from tyranny and a pursuit of liberty for all. Even though not all were followers of the Lord, it was still more than evident that they knew His Providence had a protecting hand on us. Only by His great Providence did we become a country, for the Lord knew we would become a beacon of that freedom and, ultimately, the only true freedom that comes from Christ. Through many trials and failures in history we have sinned before our Lord, and we must continually repent and seek Him for forgiveness. His Providence has allowed our nation of people from many tongues and tribes to melt together. We have been, and I pray continue to be, the largest Christian nation in the world, proclaiming who He is before all else.  This year, as we focus on His Providence , may you seek Him and be reminded of all the times He has guided, protected and blessed you for His name. David wrote in Psalm 31:3-5 of the Lord’s Providence : “For You are my high rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me. You will bring me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength. Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have ransomed me, O Yahweh, God of truth.”(LSB) We at Creation Truth Foundation look forward to another year of opportunities to serve, champion, and exalt His Name. May you be guided, protected and blessed through Providence this year.
