THE ANCIENT LANDMARK ON REMOVAL OF JEWELRY
TEXT: Exodus 33:4-6
FRIDAY JUNE 2ND
KEY VERSE: “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” 2 Peter 1:20.
The voice of Bible commentators who favour the use of Jewellery is loud. This serves as a strong support and calms the conscience of those that use jewelry. Let us have this at the back of our mind; however knowledgeable and inspired a preacher or a Bible commentator is, his commentary on every portion of scripture must be judged to see whether he speaks the mind of God on that portion of scripture or his own mind. This will help the readers not to build their faith on error. Confidence in any pastor or Bible commentator does not save. Only the word of God saves.
The majority of Christians use jewelry in their dressing. Ministers of the gospel of high ranks and anointing, male, and female, use rings and other items of jewelry freely. Only a few Christians abstain from jewelry. Unfortunately, some do so, not from scriptural conviction, but in compliance with the tradition of their assembly; with time such often return to the use of jewelry.
“Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment.” (Exodus 23:2.)
It has been clearly set forth here that many of the founding fathers of many churches preached against jewelry, but for one reason or the other, the successors could not uphold the Scriptural conviction of their predecessors in this issue. It is very important that the Christian church goes back to the old landmark of their forefathers. Doing this will require those who are convinced to teach and persuade others in the congregation to obey God and make heaven.
Thought for the day: Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil
Song for the day: How excellent is your name, O Lord
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 7-9; John 13:1-17
