ABOMINATION TO GOD vs ACCEPTABLE TO GOD

Key Text: 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) — “Rightly dividing the word of truth.”

INTRODUCTION

In every age, people seek spiritual power—but not all spirituality is from God. Scripture sharply contrasts what God abhors with what God accepts.

In this Dispensation of the Grace of God (Eph. 3:1–2), God is not found through rituals, signs, or mystical experiences, but through His written Word rightly divided and faith in Christ alone.
The issue is not spirituality vs. unbelief, but truth vs. deception.
