“WALK AS THE LIVING BIBLE EPISTLE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Are we starting to recommend ourselves again? Or do we, like some, need letters of recommendation either to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.” (2Corinthians 3:1-3)
Are we beginning to sound like those who speak highly of themselves? Do you really need letters of recommendation to validate our ministry, like others do?
Do we really need your letter of endorsement? Of course not!
For your very lives are our “letters of recommendation,” permanently engraved on our hearts, recognized and read by everybody. As a result of our ministry, you are living letters written by Christ, not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not carved onto stone tablets but on the tablets of tender hearts.
We carry this confidence in our hearts because of our union with Christ before God.
Those around you may not be conversant with the Bible but they can read it through your life.
They may not know the commandments of God through the written pages but they can read those commandments through your life.
They may not know the essence of being born again, but as they observe your manner of life, they will understand and appreciate the gospel message. You are the Bible to your neighbour.
The pertinent question then is: What do they read through your life?
Do they read the correct authorized version?
Do they read the complete and correct version? Or is it the incomplete, incorrect version that they read through your life?
Is your life an epistle of Christ to those around you?
He who keeps and treasures His Word and who bears in mind His precepts, who observes His message in its entirety, truly in him has the love of and for God been perfected, completed and reached maturity. By this we may perceive, know, recognize, and be sure that we are in Him.
Whoever says he abides in Him ought as a personal debt to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself too.
WE ARE GOD’S OPEN BIBLES FOR HIS GLORY.
Somebody shout a loud, “AMEN & AMEN!”
Shalom and good morning.
