The Holy Spirit will only 'inspire' us to believe on what is written in the Word of God.
There is no other H.S. inspirational writing above and beyond the written and completed Word of God = Sola Scriptura
We do continue to write and speak under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit today but only that which conforms to Scripture is Holy and True.
OH MY!!
The Scriptures clearly say to believe in Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!
Yet you write "to believe on what is written in the Word of God" ???
Are you thinking that Jesus Christ is "written"?????
He is a person, and that person has a name which is called "The Word of God"!!
But that just mean He talks to us personally!! He is not the Scriptures but rather the One who talked to those people who wrote the Bible. Ad they wrote down things to help people understand they type of things that we might expect to hear from our Lord Jesus Christ, if in fact we do listen to Him. Things like:
Jn:5:378 “You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent."
Believing in the Bible (the Scriptures) is NOT believing in Him!!
Jn 5:39,40 “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.
That was what was happneing back then, and there is nothing new under the sun. People today are still putting their faith in the Scriptures as opposed to putting their faith in Jesus Christ - so they search the Scriptures thinking that will five them eternal life instead of actually seeking the voice of our Lord Jesus Christ and what He says to us through His Holy Spirit. They suffer the second death because they didn't actually believe what Moses and those who wrote the Scriptures were trying to explain to them, which was that the personally need to be listening to the Lord our God by believing in Him - that He was there to be heard from!!
If you believed the Sacred Writings, you would believe the Jesus Christ is the Word of God and you would then seek Him, and all those who seek Him find Him, but again that requires you believe that He can be heard form. How will you hear from Him if you don't actually believe in Him?
Jn 5:46,47 “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. “But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
If you don't believe that Moses was telling you about Him, whose words are found near you - in your heart and mouth - not in your Bible - because He sends His Spirit to talk to you - then you will not believe in Jesus Christ!! You will then write things like "to believe on what is written in the Word of God", because you don't know Him who speaks to us!!
Jn 6:63
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
His Holy Spirit brought the words of the Lord to wrote the Bible, but that is not you hearing from the Holy Spirit, that was them hearing from the Lord via His Holy Spirit!! So reading the Scriptures do not give you "life" it gave them "life" - and they were trying to help you by explaining this to you!! But you simply will not believe them who wrote, as shown by the fact they you do not turn to Him who speaks!! Did you not read that the Scriptures bring death, and that so the life might come through Jesus Christ?
Gal 3:22 But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise
by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
So it is not ""to believe on what is written in the Word of God"!!!!!!!!!!
But rather it is "
by faith in Jesus Christ"
How do we claim to study and know the Scriptures and actually miss what is written in the Scriptures!! How is it that we do not understand that all those who wrote the Sacred Writings did so to help you come to know Jesus Christ as the Word of God who personally speaks to you!!!
Rev 19:13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and
His name is called The Word of God.
I FIND IT SO SAD, THAT PEOPLE THINK THAT SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES THINKING IN THEM THEY WILL HAVE LIFE, AND THAT PEOPLE CALL THE SCRIPTURES THE WORD OF GOD WHEN THE SCRIPTURES CALL JESUS CHRIST THE WORD OF GOD, AND THAT PEOPLE TEND TO THINK THEY ONLY NEED TO KNOW THE SCRIPTURES WHEN THEY NEED TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST!!! IF FIND IT SAD BECAUSE OF WHAT IS PROMISED TO THEM IF THEY WIND UP STANDING BEFORE HIM FOR JUDGEMENT AFTER THERE DEATH!
Mat 7:23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘
I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
If you know a person you talk to them. If you know Jesus Christ you talk to Him (back and forth) through His Holy Spirit. If you have talk to Him and if you do know Him, you then know that it is not knowing the Scriptures which save you!! It is by knowing Him though your faith in Him, that He is there to talk to you, which has cause Him to save you.
The Holy Spirit once told me, "We don't use the Lord to preach the Scriptures, we use the Scriptures to preach the Lord"!
Have we who personally know the Lord gotten that backward???
Why is it that so many don't understand this?? Have we who do actually know the Lord failing to make our message clear??
IT IS THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST BY WHICH A PERSON IS SAVED!! THAT IS WHAT IS EXPLAINED IN THE SCRIPTURE!! IT IS WHAT WE NEED TO BE PUTTING STRAIGHT!! PEOPLE - STOP PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN THE SCRIPTURES AND START PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN THE LIVING AND ACTIVE WORD OF GOD WHO IS JESUS CHRIST!! GET TO KNOW HIM!! PREACH HIM!! TELL PEOPLE ABOUT HIM!! TRY TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM PERISHING!! THE WORK OF GOD IS THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO KNOW THE SON!! USE THE BIBLE TO HELP WITH THAT BUT NEVER TELL OR EVEN IMPLY THAT KNOWING THE BIBLE WILL SAVE THEM!! IT IS NOT BY KNOWING THE BIBLE BY BY KNOWING HIM - AND THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE EXPLAINS!
