Greetings in The Name of Jesus Christ, The Everlasting God,
In the next few letters, if our Heavenly Father will allow, we will turn our attention to the written Word of God. After our salvation, a full and abundant life is only possible through the daily feeding and digestion of The Scriptures.
Of Abba Father’s provisions for His children, one would assume the sacred resource of His Word would be above dispute. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Among ” christians ” there appears to be four general opinions on The Holy Word.
1.The Bible contains some general principles for right living but is not meant to be taken as literal truth. It is merely a collection of human stories upon which we can draw some helpful suggestions for daily living.
2. The Bible is believed to be mostly true but should only be accessed with the help and guidance of a professional minister using denominational lenses.
3. The Bible is believed but not acted upon in all the different arenas of life. The Bible must yield, at times, to modern culture, human wisdom, and common sense.
4. The Bible is the very living, Spirit-breathed Word of The Almighty. It is given for the common man. Every ” jot and tittle ” is orchestrated and true.
If you desire abundant life, stability, and clarity, only the fourth opinion will suffice. Any other view of God’s Word will leave you on unstable ground.
” For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Matthew 5:18 NKJV
The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgements endures forever. Psalms 119:160 NKJV
The Word of God is to supplant our own understanding in all matters pertaining to this life and the life to come.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3: 5-6 NKJV
What opinion do you hold? If you garner no other truth from this blog, garner this. Believe The Bible! Act and stand upon it as if it were God’s personal word to you. It is.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Philippians 4:23 NKJV
your brother in Christ
P.S. Jesus Christ is coming soon.
