Will You Trust God's Word?

Good Morning!! In Jesus' day, the Pharisees were regarded as "experts" on the law. People considered them among the highest and most authoritative sources of wisdom and knowledge. Yet, they had twisted and divided and manipulated God's Word for their own selfish and proud purposes. Jesus pointedly informs them, and the people of God, that God is not pleased or impressed by any man's attempt to undermine or alter His Word.

Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.—Matthew 5:19 (NIV)

Many Christians become confused on this point and begin to evaluate the weight of a man's words by the degrees he holds or the recognition he is given by men. For this reason, they are easily led astray by liberal scholars or religious professors who make an impressive show of questioning the validity and integrity of the Bible.

In heaven's kingdom, people are esteemed in direct proportion to the value they place on the Word of God.

Father God, we trust Your Word, as the only guide to better living,...and by faith we move to follow. Amen.

"No one is too bad to go to church,...neither is anyone good enough to stay away."
