When we speak for God, we must have a basis for presuming to do so. Oh, yes, the ‘Great Commission’ commands that we “…go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature,” Mark 16:15, but we must have doctrinal soundness upon which to establish what we preach.
We do not want to be among those who weave a new ‘truth,’ who fabricate theological error based upon our misunderstanding of truth or our unwillingness to accept the TRUTH that was set before us. If it is our genuine intent to further the Kingdom of Christ and His message of salvation, we will do so honorably.
And we will do so with strict adherence to the veracity of the Word. In
II Corinthians 4:13 it says our sharing of the word we’ve espoused must be, “In accordance with what is written, ‘I believed, therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak.”
Our motivation for sharing the Good News of Jesus’ love that brought Him to earth as a Man, and of His salvation which compelled Him to die on a cross for our sin, must be that we accept the veracity of what the Bible says about Him. Out of our belief then springs our obedience to share His TRUTH with others.
