The Word of God
I Thessalonians 2:13 (NKJV)
For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.
++++++++++++++++++
Those of us who proclaim the Word of God need to be careful that it is the Word of God and not our own ideas! And when we hear something we need to check it by the Word of God.
I recently heard a popular preacher quoted as saying that he had been "enlightened" to understand that he had been wrong about what God's word said. He had caved into political correctness and therefore rejected the Word of God.
Our goal: Accept God's word and judge everything else by it, not the other way around. God's word is standard! If man's word differs, it is just wrong!
+++ 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, "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."
God has spoken! We need to listen and obey!
May God bless you as you seek to know His will in your individual life.
