Foundational Truth: The Lord Knows
1 Timothy 2:19a, b Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: The Lord knows those who are his
A foundational truth of the church is that God cannot be fooled. People can pretend all they want, put on their best clothes and face, and say the kindest things at church on a Sunday morning, but the Lord knows the heart. God knows who belongs to him.
K and A, The Lord knows your heart. You can fool me, fool others in the church, but you cannot fool God. It is what is in your heart that determines your standing with God and makes you part of his church. The church you attend is a group of people who corporately say they want to serve God in a particular way... this is a good thing. I support it wholeheartedly. It is made up of many who are followers and others who are not! But, know that the True Church, The body of The Living Christ, is only made up of those who belong to the Lord. He knows who are his. That is both a warning for you and an encouragement. Believe on him, obey him, and live for him each day, despite what others do or say.
