Basic Bible Truths Are Your Best Defense against error!
One primary reason people are misled and deceived by false teaching today is a lack of understanding of basic, foundational Bible truths. If you don’t know the basics, you become vulnerable to deception in any field. Think of buying a second-hand car: without basic knowledge of features, brands, and costs, you’re vulnerable to being sold a defective product. If you equip yourself with standard basic tips, you’ll have something to reference and compare to validate whether what you’re being told is right or wrong. Tragically, this is exactly what’s playing out in Christianity, where millions are being misled due to lack of grasp of most fundamental truths.
The only way to avoid being deceived is to spend time acquiring the knowledge about the foundational and standard truths of the Bible. This understanding will empower you to critically evaluate everything you hear against the standard of God’s Word, protecting you from error.
To address this crucial need and equip believers with this essential foundation, I started the ‘Know the Truth’ study series in the Tamil language. This series uses the 1689 Confession of Faith – a very important historical Christian document that summarizes the core beliefs of Christians for the last 2,000 years. It takes the most important truths of the Bible and summarizes them in a systematic way into 32 chapters. All you need to know about the foundations of Christian faith in 32 chapters!
If your desire is avoid being deceived about the most important aspect of your life and faith, I strongly encourage you to spend time listening to the ‘Know the Truth’ series in our GRBC YouTube Playlist. This will provide the crucial bedrock for an unshakable authentic faith.
Our Lord said, “Know the truth, and truth will set you free” (John 8:32). May the Lord help you to know His truth and experience the freedom that comes from knowing the truth.
God bless,
