Words of GOD
How
Do We Hear or Read the Words of GOD?
1
Thessalonians 2:13 says, “when you received the Word of GOD which you heard
from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for
what it really is, the Word of GOD, which also performs its work in you who believe.”
This
is such an important question: HOW do we hear or read His Word? Do we truly
understand that, when we read or hear from the Bible, that it is our GOD
speaking to us, and not man? I understand the doubts and debates concerning
supposed mistakes or contradictions within the Bible, and I’m certainly not
skilled enough to enter into those debates. But mistakes or not in some of the
details, those who love Him, those who have truly repented and received His
Holy Spirit into their hearts, they KNOW that His Words are LIVING Words, not
at all like the thoughts and opinions of men.
Do
we understand that His Word is our Instruction Book, our Guideline as to how we
should live our lives here on this earth? When you hear or read, are they
simply good suggestions which you can “take it or leave it”? We might be able
to do that with human beings who may not be our rightful authorities, but can
we do that with our Creator? When we hear His judgments and warnings, do we
just carelessly forget them, as if we have little faith that these things will
actually come to pass? Is there no fear of GOD or trembling at His Words? Many
times the Bible talks about “trembling” or that we should “tremble” before Him,
and yet those who don’t really believe in His judgments have reduced “fear and
trembling” into mere respect for the GOD of the Universe!
What
about His Promises and blessings? When we hear or read about these things, do
we take it lightly? For those of us who heard about the “stimulus check” which
the US government was distributing during the early stages of Corona, did you
take it lightly? Of course not. If you’re like me, you were probably searching
the internet to see first of all, did you qualify to receive? After that was
confirmed, you were likely searching to see WHERE IS IT? We don’t take earthly
blessings for granted, so how much more should we want to grab hold of EVERY
blessing which the Father has made available to us through His Son’s Blood?!
Sadly,
because most do not really BELIEVE His Words (perhaps all of us included at
times), we are often like people going through a smorgasbord or buffet,
choosing what we like and leaving the rest behind. Of course, if we have that
kind of mind, what parts of GOD’s Word do you think we’ll be choosing: the
warnings of judgment? His demands of obedience or repentance? No, we’ll be
choosing only what tastes best to us spiritually, most likely that being His
blessings and love.
May
the Lord help us to somehow BELIEVE all of His Word, applying it into our lives
in whatever way it should be applied. “All Scripture is given by
inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness, that
the man of GOD may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2
Timothy 3:16-17
