Ecc. 1:1-3, Deut. 30:11-20, Mic. 7:1-13, Matt. 7:13-29
It is all important we realize nothing will take the place of personal submission and surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ. Acquaintance with Scripture that does not control our lives…and even falsely presenting scripture to make the “burden” more bearable will only add to our condemnation, rather than prove a means of salvation for those who do not know and have not experienced Truth given through grace.
It is a great thing to be called of God to service on behalf of the lost world; and its a tremendous event in the history of a soul when the voice of Christ is heard clearly without muddled up distractions that cause separation.
All are not fitted for the same tasks; all cannot work in the same way. But each one of us who yield entirely to the Lord Jesus for definite service will find that He enables, trains, and directs, so our lives will be used to His glory.
One cannot possibly be surrendered wholly if the goal is to make Jesus fit into our perspective. Its sinful to try to force Biblical principles and Truth on the world of unsaved men, when we ourselves are not under them. It is as great a sin to insist these principles have no binding authority over the consciences of Christians and non Christians today.
Where is our faith?? In us is fulfilled all the righteous requirements of the law a we “walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Rom. 8:4)
Jesus is LORD, the title alone requires submission to His authority and abandonment of our own…
