Part 11 in my study on what is abomination
in the sight of God.
Recap:
Many believers have fallen into accepting
that which is abomination in the sight of God. Unless we study God's Word to
learn His Mind on what is abominable, how will we know to purge ourselves from
abomination? Lord willing, I will be posting the fruits of my study on the word
"abomination," but feel free to leap ahead of me and study it for
yourself. What is an abomination to God?
These Seven Things
Proverbs 6:16-19 - These
six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud
look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that
deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A
false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
If ever there was a clear list given in God's Word for
abominations in His eyes, Proverbs 6:16-19 holds the key. It is distinct and
unarguable. Above that, sadly, this list can be found in many believers' lives.
- A Proud Look
"Proud - to be high actively, to rise or raise."
Romans 12:3 - For I
say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to
think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly,
according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
I can testify first-hand that pride is probably the TOP of
my struggles as a believer. The times when I think very highly of myself, raise
up myself to be someone above who I am, not considering the grace of God Who
has given me all things, and taking credit which only belongs to Christ.
Proverbs 16:5 - Every
one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in
hand, he shall not be unpunished.
