You’re sitting peacefully in a car. The car is travelling down the freeway at a speed of 70 miles per hour. Are you in motion, or are you at rest?
There is no absolute answer to this question. The answer is relative to the position of the observer. To the driver of the car sitting next to you, you are at rest. To a pedestrian on the side of the road you are in motion.
Many of our observations about life are relative. God’s word is not. It is absolute. Always right. Never changing.
