The Correct Response To God's Word

 

Today's verse is Exodus 35:1

And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them. 

    And Jesus, quoting scripture said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. And have we not been told, For thou [God] hast magnified thy word above all thy name. But there is one that came in the beginning saying, Yea, hath God said. . .? Of which of these do you hold to? Do you, having found God’s Word, treasure it, seeking to understand and obey it, keeping it dear to your heart and mind? Or do you allow questions to arise of its veracity, allowing these things to cause you to question God himself and what he requires of you? Know now, even as he is the author of it (All scripture is given by inspiration [literally: God Breathed] of God, and holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.) so also has he (not us) preserved it. (The words of the Lord are pure words: /As silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. /Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, /Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.) So, knowing what God has commanded, will you do them? Amen.

To God be the Glory
