BIBLICALLY APPREHENDED

Monday, May 27, 2019

  Romans [MKJV] 12:1-3 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. But set your mind to be right-minded, even as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

  Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

  As a follower of the Word Living (Jn.1:1) and written (Ps.119), I am increasingly Biblically apprehended; striving to think and do all things in worshipful way pleasing to God. This position does not always make for pleasant comfortable thought or action (as in writing this truth). Memorial Day and my admiration of heroes is a case in point: Believing in the whole counsel of God, the Bible being His inspired Word . . . I know that that men and women dying while doing something heroic, if they had not trusted in Jesus as Redeemer, go to eternal suffering separated from Jehovah God Almighty.

  Definitely unpleasant to know, but reality it is. A actuality that should energize our responsibility as His 2Corinthians 5:17-20 ambassadors of reconciliation.
