Reasons To Learn

God's Word 49

[2 Tim 3:14-17]

 / Anne's Faith Column

 

 

/ By Priscilla

 

 

When the foundation

of the Word is established

by learning the Scripture,

that is, the word of God,

 

 

 

we can definitely

find the truth

of salvation

 

 

 

and ethical

standards in it. 

 

 

 

"Where there is no

revelation, the people

cast off restraint."

(Pro 29:18)

 

 

 

It means that if we

don't know God well,

 

 

 

we distort God's will

and run in a different

direction with a false

devious passion,

 

 

 

or we do everything

according to our own ways,

or disobey or disregard God. 

 

 

 

We God's chosen people

should always meditate

on the word of God

day and night,

 

 

 

write it on the tablet

of our hearts, preach the

Word in season or

out of season,

 

 

 

and abide in what

we are sure of.

 

 

 

We must not turn aside

to the right or to the left

and do nothing out

 of favoritism.

 

 

 

Examining the word

of God, we must

eradicate the elements,

which hurt God's heart,

in our lives. 

 

 

 

The important thing

is that the knowledge

of the truth, which is

the word of God, is

never to be learned

 

 

 

for our own benefit

by being led by greed,

 

 

 

but to be learned

to see the Lord's will

and put the word of God

into practice by faith.

 

 

 

If we are in the arms

of the Lord and

experience being

born again,

 

 

 

but live without enjoying

peace in the abundance

of grace, it can only be 

said to be a tragic life.

 

 

 

When we truly want

to have pure and

deep communion

with God,

 

 

 

the Lord sees through

our hearts, grants us

peace with fruits worthy

of repentance, and

comforts us with the Word.

   

 

 

When we do not have

inner peace, the Lord says:

 

 

 

"Then you will know

the truth, and the truth

will set you free."

(John 8 : 32)

 

 

 

Those who have come

to know the Lord from

a young age and come

into contact with the Word

 

 

 

can come back to the Lord

even if they temporarily

wander.

 

 

 

This is because the words

of the Lord, which

they have learned,

have already settled

in their hearts

 

 

 

and are guiding the

direction of their

lives like a lamp.

 

 

 

We must live a life that

truly gives thanks to

the Lord for giving us

 

 

 

a new life that allows us

to overcome the sorrows

of the past when we were

hurt and bitter, and to

 start anew and be

resurrected.

 

 

 

That's why we absolutely

need to learn more about

the word of God.

 

 

 

So, what should we do

 to hear the voice of God?

 

 

 

1) We should read the

word of God regularly.

 

 

 

2) We should spend more

time in fellowship

with the Lord.

 

 

 

3) We should be willing to

welcome, acknowledge,

  and receive the Holy Spirit.

 

 

Prayer

 

 

Lord.

 

 

 

Thank you for helping me

realize that God's wisdom

comes only from the one

 Father through the Word.

 

 

 

Please lead us to meet

the Lord, who has come

to us as a flash of light

in the Word,

 

 

 

not as a written 

 Word, that is, 'Logos',

 

 

 

but as a

'Rhema' that will

always change our

lives strongly!
