  THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD

 Scripture Reading: I Timothy 3:15

The Holy Scriptures are the truth. What is the pillar and ground of the truth? The majestic and neglected passage is open to much abuse from unsaved religionists and traditional church interpretation. The Bible Itself says that the house of God, the Church of the living God, is the pillar and ground of the truth.

The word "house" has reference to the arrangement of God's people according to the revelation He has given them. It is used in this way concerning a different age in Hebrews 3:2-6. The word "house" is also related to the word "dispensation" in Ephesians l:10 and 3:2, and "household" in Ephesians 2:19. This "house" is the Church of the living God, the Body of Christ.

What pattern of conduct or behavior does the Apostle Paul set by revelation from the Lord Jesus here? He is writing about standards for elders and deacons in the local assembly. The apostle himself would arrange elders and deacons in the local assembly, but he might be delayed. He gives instructions for qualified men and then expands his words into a song of praise for the doctrines of the secret which God had kept hidden from ages and generations until He revealed them through the Apostle Paul.

The Body of Christ, the great assembly of this present age, is the pillar and ground of the Truth. As such it has the obligation to recognize men qualified by the Lord for places of leadership in the local assembly. The necessity of this verse is that the Body of Christ ought to have leaders so that the foundation and support can present the Truth to saints and sinners in God's way.
