The Bible On Trial

No hiding from Truth~

You have heard the expression "You can run but you can't hide". It is a true statement, although people try to do it all the time. Just look at how many people try to run from the police while driving vehicles. There are at least two incidents each week where the local news helicopter focuses it's camera on a person fleeing from the police after a robbery or carjacking. I look at the coverage and wonder if these people really think they can outrun and outmaneuver a gaggle of police cars and air support and really get away. They are ALWAYS caught.

This is also prevalent in the spiritual world as well. It is certaiinly much less overt. After all, if someone goes to church on a regular basis they do, at a basic level, believe that running from God is futile. Some people go to church feeling that when they do they will placate God into not looking to close at them, hoping that God will ignore the 'little' problems they have that identify them as 'sinners'. Others go out of a genuine sense of love; that God loves them so much that He would never be able to punish them for the 'small things' that heppen in everyday life that are a 'little disobedient'. They believe that "nothing can separate them from the love of God" because Jesus died for their sins.

These people are running from God as surely as that person trying to escape the police by running from them. The result will be the same.

"For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed." John 3:20.

If a person does not know the truth about salvation they are NOT saved. They may think that they are, but thinking and knowing are two different things.

"But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." John 3:21.
