Do you believe history?

Do you believe everything your parents or grandparents told you about their life before the internet or cell phones? Why is it important to listen to their history? Psalm 44 verse 1 tells us that history is really important. It says: 

We have heard with our ears, O God;
our fathers have told us
what you did in their days,
in days long ago.

Recent history is one thing to consider as some people are trying to revise or correct history. Some of it is good and should be corrected but revisionism is from a nefarious agenda.

But what we have learned about God and what He has done overshadows all these changes because the Bible hasn’t changed and will not change. It truthfully tells us what God and people did and it tells us why because God is the author.

What has God done?

He is the Creator – not chance.

He directs the course of history through people – not people doing it on their own.

He correctly identifies our problem as sin – not mistakes or accidents.

He ordained and provided Jesus to appease His wrath against our sins.

He calls us to repentance and gives His Holy Spirit to make us spiritually alive and able to live holy lives.

That’s what our ancestors told us through the Bible.

If you hear this and haven’t trusted Jesus for salvation then you are still under God’s wrath according to this same Bible, the Word of God. If you want to know more, watch my video on the Gospel on YouTube or read on this Gospel link.
