Matthew 5:17-20
17.
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to
destroy but to fulfill.
18.
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one
title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
19.
Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches
men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and
teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20.
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of
the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
(New
King James Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
LIVE ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD
Christianity can only
be effective if those called by the name of the Lord live according to His
word.
The problem of
Christians today is their inability to do exactly what God expects of them as
outlined in the Bible.
Jesus came to complete
the Bible by fulfilling the laws and prophesies. He revealed the mind of God
through His word and expects everyone to live in obedience to it.
Sadly, many Christians
choose to live contrary to that word. This is because their minds are saturated
with the things of the world which hinders them from witnessing to mankind as
God expects of us.
As you step out today,
ask God to help you live in total obedience to His word, no matter what is at
stake.
QUESTION:
How obedient are you to the revealed word of God?
PRAYER:
Help me, dear Father, to develop a willingness to do Your will as revealed in
the Scriptures so that I can lead others into a meaningful relationship with
You, in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
