Being Right vs. The Truth
by Pastor Kevin Sadler
"I don't want to be right. I want the truth!" That's what a brother in Christ told me on the phone one day here at Berean Bible Society. I thought it was a tremendous statement. It showed the godly mindset of the person on the other end of the line.
So many have their focus on being right --
that is, winning arguments and debates -- and are inflexible when it
comes to the possibility of being wrong. Many stubbornly dig in their
heels and just want to feel that they are right, even when there is
Scripture against what they believe. The truth is what is most
important.
In
2 Corinthians 13:8 we read, "For we can do nothing against the truth,
but for the truth." The truth never changes. There is always the
possibility that our fallible opinion of what we think is right is not
the truth. Our focus needs to be on whether what we believe is the truth
of the Word of God. We must conform our thinking to God's Word and have
a humble, teachable heart that is willing to change if we are shown
truth on a subject or passage on which we might be wrong. We must always
have the spirit of a Berean and search the Scriptures to see if what we
hear and what we believe are, in fact, the truth.
