What Are Absolutes?

Our everyday lives find structure in the thousands of things we accept as truths, from the numbers we use to the names of colors and textures. There are absolutes in the Bible, and they are constants in the spiritual realm, just as "2+2" is a constant in the physical realm.

Absolutes of God is about the Word of God and its building blocks of truth -- "the first principles of the oracles of God" (Hebrews 5:12) -- which have been forgotten or misplaced.

In our society, we have insisted that diversity is good. In reality, what we have are divisions created by an ignorance of God's definition of truth. The one Authority who can settle all arguments in the controversies that divide us is the Holy Ghost, and we have ignored Him!

God's desire is that the words He spoke become alive in His people so that He is seen in His church. God wants to be visible, not only to His church, but also to the whole world. He wants to see truth believed and lived out in front of the entire world.

Seven Absolutes of God

1. God's will for man is that he be perfect in Christ Jesus.

2. The knowledge of good and evil does not produce godly believers or healthy Christians.

3. The natural man does not receive the things of God.

4. Every believer must know the voice of God.

5. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher sent from God to indwell every believer.

6. Once we repent of our sins, we become His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

7. The Bible was written both historically and spiritually.

Isaac

Isaac inherited God’s covenant promise from his father. He also inherited Abraham’s wealth. He was given everything; he didn’t even choose his own wife! Yet Isaac’s role in the kingdom was far from easy. His call was to hold onto God’s promise without seeing it come to pass. Isaac was a placeholder in the kingdom of God. There are seasons in our walk that we must hold to promises from God by faith. Our sight would tell us the promise is nowhere in sight, but faith holds fast. Through this, God teaches us deep lessons about his grace and about our inability to earn anything from Him through our works.

Genesis 26

1	And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2	And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
3	Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
4	And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5	Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Genesis 26:1-5

Galatians 3

24	Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25	But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26	For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27	For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28	There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29	And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Galatians 3:24-29

Galatians 4

1	Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2	But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3	Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4	But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5	To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6	And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7	Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8	Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
9	But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10	Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11	I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Galatians 4:1-11
