His Word Is Beautiful
The beauty of God’s word is in knowing He loves us! We know there are problems in this world. But the beauty of God’s word reminds us of the solutions over and over again. There are many examples, of what will lead to success as well as the causes of failure. The biggest blessing bestowed upon mankind was when God sent Jesus into the world to be the sacrificial Lamb for the sins of all mankind. In Romans chapter 11 vs. 36 the brethren were reminded of the power which comes from knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior. The Bible says; “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.” The Apostle Paul said in chapter 12 vss. 1 and 2; “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable to God which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” To be a conformist to the ways of this world is a recipe for disaster. There must be a willingness to study God’s word and pray for understanding. There is great wisdom in having a desire to do the right thing. The Lord loves obedience. For those unwilling to behave in such a manner, that individual has a heart problem, that can only be repaired by coming to the salvation of Jesus Christ. When there is obedience to the gospel, a change will come in how an individual will think and act. The gospel is the greatest behavior modifier of all time. Vs. 3 Paul says; “For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” How we treat others is just as important, for those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior. We cannot spew hateful words, because we must show others some love!
Philippians 2 vss. 3 and 4, Paul says; “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interest of others.” Jesus says in Mark 12 vs. 31; “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Amen, Amen.
