Eph.4:14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
There is nothing more scary to me than the Word of the living God being twisted to suit man! Man had better except what God commands or he will surely suffer the consequences. I have read that there are some who have taken God's Word and twisted it to say that in the end, all people will be saved, even the ones who deny Christ. These people have went so far as to say that there is no hell and that God would not send people there if there was such a place. I know that God's Word has power because it tells of the hope we have found in Christ and that is why I am heartsick over so called Christians twisting it. We are to proclaim the Word boldly!
1Cor.1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
1Cor.1:18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Heb. 13:9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.
Romans 16:17-20 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
We are all sinners and equal at the foot of the cross but to us, those of us who repent, we have been forgiven by the washing of Jesus' blood who cleanses from within. We are a new creation and no longer depend on ourselves but the power of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”Romans 6:14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 8:31-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So I will tell you this, when your hear someone teach the Word always look in your bible. Always check it out and ask God to reveal Himself to you! You need to be in the Word everyday! It is our comfort, our shield, our help in troubled times and what we have been commanded to live, learn and teach to the nations!
Holy Father, forgive us when we fail You. Teach us how to be like You, to live like You and to share the Word like You. Change our hearts everyday, and have mercy on us. Amen
