Intro: We live in a time when the concept of right and wrong seems less certain than ever.
That is likely not a true statement, but it is certainly a common perception.
There are multiple causes.
Abuses of TV evangelists tend to cause people to not believe anything about religion.
Ecumenical movements suggest that all can believe differing truths.
Humanists teach that truth is relative and fluid.
Can we find truth in the midst of all the deception?
Can we help others find truth?

I) How can we know God’s will?
We must start from some starting point, we will assume the Bible is valid –
Chain of revelation: God – – Jesus – ; – Holy Spirit – ; – Apostles – ; – New Testament – – Man
Believer in God will want to please Him in their lifestyle –
God has revealed His mind to us – – that we can know what pleases Him
Which means we must have Bible authority to be pleasing to God –
Believer in God will want to please Him in their lifestyle –
Which means we must have Bible authority to be pleasing to God –
II) How to determine Bible authority
Bible must be our pattern:
It is inspired by God –
It is complete – ;
It is final –
It is unalterable –
It is understandable –
It is our judge –
Beware false teaching:
Beware – ; ; ;
Test the spirits –
Do not fellowship those who reject God’s will – ;
Reprove those who ignore God’s will –
Instruct them not to teach false truths – ;
Don’t be fooled by lies –
Demand the purity of the gospel – ;
Concl: We can know what is right because God has always wanted us to.
Yet we must also remember that Satan is trying to deceive us with a convincing lie.
