"Don't judge me!" We hear this nearly everyday!! But friends, God will hold us accountable if we do not warn the erring of their error. The faithful servant of Christ does not want “blood” of others upon his hands (Ezekiel 33:7-9).And, Christians are to save others by snatching them out of the fire; Jude 1:23. Now, how do we know if someone is in error and in danger of hell fire? If they are not living by the bible, then they are in error and in danger.....the only way to know that is to read the bible. The bible is written for our instruction- All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
Luke 6:37 contains the few words of the Holy Scriptures that the world knows by heart. "Judge not....." but they skip the entire of the chapter, therefore missing the context. It means, don't tell someone they are living in sin, if you are doing the same thing they are doing, or worse!
But, John 7:24 tells us to judge RIGHTEOUSLY. By the words of the Holy Bible we find what is righteous living and what is sinful living. If we didnt have this guide, how could we know what is right or what is wrong? But God has given us His inspired Word so we can judge what IS right and wrong. Todays world, everyone is out for themselves, and sinful practices are commonplace.
Even to the point that our national laws have been changing, to allow people to live as they want, to please their own selfish desires, and not as God wants, and in fact, intended!!
Indeed, the very moral fabrics of this nation at its coming together, were founded on the moral standards of the bible.
"The rights of the colonists as Christians…may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the Great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament". - Samuel Adams.
"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity". - John Adams .
"that all may bow to the scepter of our Lord Jesus Christ and that the whole Earth may be filled with his glory". - John Hancock, as Governor of Massachusetts 1791 .
So I hope you don't find my regular scripture posting on Facebook to be an annoyance...I don't post them to annoy, but rather, I hope to inspire others to read their bible and hopefully, find within themselves a desire to get right with God, to repent of their past way of living and be buried in baptism, (Romans 6:4, John 3:3-5) (not as an outward show of an inward change, but for washing away of your past sins, because you want to change your life to be like Christ!), become a 'new man (or woman if you are female!) in Christ, and live the remainder of your days to continue reading your bible, learning and growing in the Lord. The bible is not written so that we cannot understand it, but it is written for us for our instruction, (2 Timothy 3:16) to obey it, (John 14:15) and have LIFE.
Only by this can you hope to be in paradise upon your fleshly death, and the hope of heaven when Jesus comes to take his chosen to a spiritual life of eternity in Heaven !!
And only by this, can we hope to turn our nation back around to being One Nation Under God. "Righteousness exalts a nation" Proverbs 14:34.
If you desire a one on one bible study dont hestiate to message me!! Im happy to share the gospel with you!
