Living The Word

Jan4

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
Titus‬ ‭2:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/tit.2.11.NASB1995

The Bible. God’s word to mankind. It is important to read it, but it is even more essential that we act on it. Live it.
The Bible is our instruction manual to teach us godliness so that we may live sensibly, righteously and godly in this present world in which we live.
The Bible draws us close to our Creator, our Savior, our hope, our future and so much more. Salvation is just the beginning. Seeking God and His kingdom is our life endeavor.

🌹Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
Luke‬ ‭6:47‭-‬49‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

How is your foundation?

Grow Up in The Word

Jul31

New to salvation? Don’t stop there.

like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
1 Peter 2:2 NASB

God has a plan to grow you called sanctification. Are you longing for the pure milk of the word? As babies progress from milk to solids, the newborn Christian grows from salvation to righteous living.

For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
Hebrews 5:13‭-‬14 NASB

Are you practicing what you are reading in God’s word?

With faithful reading and application of God’s word comes blessing and a thankful heart to God.

How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart.
I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.
Psalms 119:2‭, ‬7 NASB

Will you make the word of God a habit until it becomes your treasure?

🌹Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.
I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. I shall delight in Your statutes; I shall not forget Your word.

Hiatus

Jan25

He promises that He will satisfy the weary ones and refresh, fill, everyone who languishes. I am seeking God’s righteousness and I know He will satisfy my soul. Just as Jesus would go seek time with the Father, I will be taking some time to learn, seek, and rest in the Lord.
