Wilt thou also disannul My
judgment? wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be righteous? (Job 40:8)
Why
would anyone even try to
"condemn God's Word?" Why would they try to make it invalid? What is their purpose?
If
a person can claim that God's Word is inapplicable to them, they then have no
standard by which to measure their life. If God's Word is not to be trusted,
then who can say that sodomy is a sin? Who can say that abortion is wrong? Who
can say that premarital relationships are abomination to God? If we can
disprove God's Word, then we can make all of these sins appear
"righteous."
These
are the big topics of sin today, but what about the little sins in our lives?
Are there any areas where we are trying to disprove the Bible? Any areas that
we try to "explain away" to excuse our behavior ("what this really means is . . .")? It is easy
to condemn those who blatantly disannul God's judgments -- but let us do a
heart check and "see if there be any wicked way in me."
Amen! So true, Amanda!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteYes; sadly, too true in our churches today! May the Lord help us to be faithful to His Word!
