The teachings of men change with time, but the teachings of the Lord are eternal – 1 Peter 1:24-25
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
I think the eternal nature of God's truths is evident based on what happened during the great apostasy. Although people knew that they needed to follow the commandments and laws of God, the fulness of His gospel was not on the earth which led to the formation of dozens of new churches which interpreted God's laws differently. These different sects that sprung up caused many religious scholars like Martin Luther and John Calvin to question if the new churches were teaching eternal truths or if they were changing the meaning of these truths for material gain and influence. I know the restoration of the gospel brought back the fulness of the gospel to the world in the same form that existed when Jesus was on the earth. This is proof that no matter what happens in the world, the word of the Lord will always return to the earth to give us the opportunity to return to our Heavenly Father.
How has seeking eternal truths affectedyour life and how does that compare to how worldly truths have affected your life?
