God's Word in power

Galatians 3:22 But the scripture consigned all things to sin, that what was promised to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

What God has to say should be more important than what man has to say. Yet so often we tend to want to hear rather from man than from God. The Bible is all about what God has to say, Bible study is all about man trying to find ways to understand what God said. People who spend their lives studying the Bible often understand the texts, the history, the context, yet some how still miss the point. God does not approve of many things yet we try to rationalise our failures by altering our understanding of God’s word.

No matter what the context sin is sin, and all people sin. No person on this earth has ever been able to live a perfect life, except Jesus Christ, so if we believe that we may never make mistakes we are delusional. Yet when we look at the world around us we find so many people who are content to live sinful lives, who delude themselves in their own perfection, yet continue in selfish ways to destroy not only themselves but also those around them.

Thank God for those who admit the error of their ways, turn from them and seek God. Not just the God of the Bible but the Living God who lives and breathes within us all.

Be encouraged today to seek a meaningful relationship with God.

David

Point to ponder: It is the Bible that leads us to God.

Question to consider: Do you rationalise sin?
