Yes many do that, become arrogant before God, and bear false witnesses. But if you are who you say you are thanAnd then to claim you are as righteous as Jesus in God's eyes. Foolishness. So then you have in reality become worse than before. Through bearing a false witness and becoming arrogant before God.
1, Religion can have no place in your life, it isnt from God its from men.
2. Bible study goes out the door, because as Paul put it,
Gal_1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
and in revelation
1Jn_2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
3. You must let Him empty you of everything, because a vessel filled with.
A. Self
B. Learning
c. Own understanding
d. Own wisdom.
C. Pride
E. False Humility
Has no place for Him. Hence my post about teh glass getting emptied, but who wants to be empty.
Than you will know that.
A. Many will come to Christ and accept salvation and fill pews do nothing all their lives. and God has no problem with that, they believe it is enough for salvation.
B. Some will hear that call. "come out of her my people", because they are His people, do not understand why, but teh fact they obeyed and heard is voice, proves they believe, and their faith is accounted for righteousness, even if that is all they do.
C. Some will get the real call, by Christ Himself, doesnt come from reading a text in the bible,but many will refuse it because the price it to high, and tha twill take you to,
1Co_2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
But that does not make any of them better or worse than any one else, they will be tested to near death by teh enemy of their souls not God.
D. Than we have those who read the bible think they have the answers because they do, and like mr Trump use it as a tool, I quote the bible you must believe me. Well We only need to believe JEsus thats why it says.
Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Notice they dont believe Him and now the Spirit of God that too was given to believers, and that is why they
Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
And as HE said still to this day
Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Men stay away from Him in droves
Joh 5:41 I receive not honour from men.
Mat_15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
God bless
