The Path to Wisdom and understanding...living in the Fear of Jehovah

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction…

…My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee; So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding; If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures: Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God…

…For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding: He lays up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to them that walk in integrity; That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints. (Pro 1:7 Pro 2:1-5 Pro 2:6-8)

 

Seek wisdom and understanding more than gold and material things...

…But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraided not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubts is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways…

…How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver. The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: He that keeps his way preserves his soul…

…He that gets wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keeps understanding shall find good. A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that utters lies shall perish. (Jas 1:5-8 Pro 16:16-17 Pro 19:8-9)

 

The Power of Truth and Righteousness in Discipleship

Jesus said…Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth…

…Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…

…Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God. (Joh 17:17 Joh 8:31-32 Mat 5:6-9)

Do you have the spirit of the accuser or the Spirit of Jesus…

God would rather have Christians with the  fruits of the Spirit instead of fruit inspectors…

It is written…prove all things; hold fast that which is good; abstain from every form of evil. And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it.

…Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already. You are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knows God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

…These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved. For, uttering great swelling words of vanity (emptiness), they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness (evil sensual lusts), those who are just escaping from them that live in error; promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.

(1Th 5:21-24 1Jn 4:1-6 2Pe 2:17-22)

 

Jesus’s word will be our judge on the last day…the Day of Judgement…

Jesus said…Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged: and with what measure you mete (measure out), it shall be measured unto you. And why behold you the mote (little sin) that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam (big sin) that is in your own eye? Or how wilt thou say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote out of your eye; and lo, the beam is in your own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye; and then shalt you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you…

…I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my sayings, hath One that judges him: the word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day…

…Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by your name, and by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity (work apart from God).

(Mat 7:1-6 Joh 12:46-48 Mat 7:21-23)

The soul who kneels before Jesus can face anyone.

 

The Essential Role of Faith in Embracing the Gospel and Pleasing God

…Therefore, we should fear, lest perhaps, a promise being open to enter into His rest, any of you might seem to come short. For truly, we have had the gospel preached to us, even as they also did; but the preaching of the word did not profit them because it was not mixed with faith in those who heard…

…But all have not obeyed the gospel because as Isaiah said, Lord, who has believed our report? So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of God…

…Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen. For by this kind of faith the elders obtained a good report…

…Now without faith it is impossible to please God. For it is mandatory for the one who comes to God to believe that He exists, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

(Heb 4:1-2 Rom 10:16-17 Heb 11:1-2 Heb 11:6)

 


The Importance of Scripture and Faithful Study of Truth

…See that they remain mindful of these things, earnestly charging them in the sight of the Lord not to argue over words that are not profitable in any way, but which lead to the subverting of those who hear. Diligently study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing (applying) the Word of the truth…

…All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; So that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work…

…But my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory into the ages of eternity. Amen.

(2Ti 2:14-15 2Ti 3:16-17 Php 4:19-20)

 


Do You Trust in Divine Provision and Seek Righteousness

…Now if God so arrays the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much rather clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or With what shall we be clothed? For the nations seek after all these things. And your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But as for you, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow shall take care of the things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of that day…

...Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me shall never hunger; and the one who believes in Me shall never thirst at any time…

…Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

(Mat 6:30-34 Joh 6:35 Mat 5:6)

 


Reminder of A New Covenant: Laws Inscribed in Hearts and Minds

This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days,' says the Lord: 'I will give My laws into their hearts, and I will inscribe them in their minds; And their sins and lawlessness I will not remember ever again. (Heb 10:16-17)
