Mere Speculation...
Mere speculation
is the term we use when someone simply guesses concerning a thing,
rather than having a solid foundation of truth. When what we are
considering is just something passing or an interesting tidbit of
trivia, speculation can be harmless,even fun. However, nothing is more
important than that which concerns us spiritually, and mere speculation
concerning our souls can be disastrous! When speaking in Athens, Greece,
Paul the Apostle ministered to a group of people that were extremely
religious, and they would gather daily just to speculate concerning
spiritual matters. Acts 17:21 records for us: “For all the Athenians and
strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either
to tell, or to hear some new thing.”
There is a way to be
absolutely certain concerning eternal things, and this can be seen in
Paul’s account of the Berean people in Acts 17:11. He wrote of this
group, “...they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and
searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” These
listened intently to what Paul preached, and then they checked the
Scriptures for themselves to be sure he was correct. Rather than being
offended by this, Paul commended them for it!
We have a free
resource that will allow you to be a Berean, in the sense that you can
study the Word of God and make sure that what you hear is the truth (00900 Doctrine Of Salvation). We invite you to take this course and then share it with a friend.
