Bible Verse of The Day – 8-2-23

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

During our lifetimes as a follower of Christ, we will see and hear many people claiming to have a word for us from God.

We will hear teachings on many different topics, all supposedly based on God’s word.

We will have people tell us that God wants to bless us, or that He wants to anoint us for a specific task.

We will see groups of people, some of them exceptionally large, following teachers who tell them how good their lives can be.

Our walk with God will be a lengthy obstacle course full of things that we will need to discern and determine whether they are of God or not.

How do we do this?

How do we accurately discern these things and know who or what to believe as truth?

Simple.

Go back to the word of God.

The word of God is our measuring stick. It is the standard by which everything we see and hear is validated or proven to be false.

Sometimes the things we hear are plainly false. We know it the second we hear it.

Other things might not be quite so cut and dry.

Many falsehoods are skillfully wrapped in tidbits of truth but are really lies in a pretty package.

This is why it is critical for us to always go back to the word of God.

As we spend time studying, learning, researching, growing, and maturing, we will gain a more solid understanding of His word that will help us break through the confusion and peel back the layers of false teachings.

And this will make the truth glaringly obvious to us, allowing us to toss away the heresy that masquerades as the genuine article.

Always go back to the word of God!
