We are headed into a New Season! It's important to balance knowledge with wisdom, so that they may coalesce and become a valuable tool for your own discernment as well as helping to bring others to a platform of truth. Where the neutral reality of fact is met with the Wisdom bestowed upon us by a Sovereign & Just Creator, who Loves us Mercifully. It's both physical and spiritual work to seek the kingdom of God. It's honourable!
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast that which is good.
God's sovereign fairness demands that we, at the very least, exhibit an effort, an honest effort and for that, He shall reward with greater return!. For we already know that we can never earn our salvation) no act other than the ABC's of Jesus gets us that!.......the ABC's?????......................Acquiescence Belief and Confession!!!!
Let's take this challenge to first, read over this incredible array of facts pertaining to the BIBLE (see BELOW)
then, let's make it a personal challenge to, print it out & begin the journey of verifying these facts! I know that I look forward to verifying the ones that aren't immediately known to me. The more God reveals to me, the more assured I am, beside the supernatural things I've experienced & felt. My carnal, fact seeking mind is satiated by the sheer magnitude, of the realization, of what would have needed to have been orchestrated & maintained, in order for the Bible to be anything, other than God Breathed Truth. It was imparted through various persons, over centuries, across vast earthly proximity and cultural barriers! An extensive knowledge of the Bible (just superficially speaking) is overwhelming.
Just know that you will be blessed beyond measure, the exercise & participation put forward in this effort will be the equivalent of Boot Camp, spiritually speaking. You're Rock Solid Truth, Impenetrable Faith and Never Ending Peace awaits you, you will be powerfully equipped! ~ God Bless
