GOD’S DESCRIPTION OF LOVE, Part 22 - BELIEVING ALL THINGS continued.
We would do well to believe every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4: “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Jesus was combating the three temptations of the devil by using His knowledge of the Scriptures.
The love that is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost believes all things that God has spoken. This love does not believe any wicked person is beyond redemption for the love of God shed abroad in our hearts loves all of mankind no matter how far they have fallen.
This love encourages us to pray that God will grant them repentance no matter how much they may have caused us grief. We never cut our loved ones off when they unjustly treat us, for cutting people off and holding a grudge or negative attitude may hinder God’s redeeming love to save them. We may not be able to fellowship in anyway, but we must never cut them off in our prayers for them.
If we do not make it our goal to know every word that proceeds from the mouth of God and seek earnestly to apply it to our lives we will be hindered in our spiritual warfare against the temptations coming to attack us from the evil one.
It is important for all Christian parents to acquaint themselves and their children with the Word of God. If we neglect the Scriptures, we neglect our own salvation.
Hebrews 2:3: “ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation.” Neglecting the knowledge and application of God’s Word sets ourselves up for massive spiritual failure as well as marriage and family failures.
Be encouraged to share the Scriptures with your family. In doing so you will assist them to overcome, rather than be overrun.
Read what Jesus had to say to the multitudes on the Mount concerning the essence of His doctrine:
Matthew 7:24-27: “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and great upon that house, and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock.
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the full of it.”
Be encouraged.
