TOPIC: GOD REQUIRES PERFECT OBEDIENCE FROM MAN
TEXT: JAMES 1: 21-27
WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 6TH
Key verse: Psalm 37:37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
Christ reiterated this truth in the New Testament. He summed up the Sermon on the Mount by saying, “Be ye,, therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect”. Can you imagine that? Was He playing with words or was he sincere? Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect and He is the judge of His word. He is ready to stand behind only those who comply with these words. As for the others, He may still be using them but as a vessel unto dishonour, they are still vessels anyway but He stands only behind those that comply with His word, however few. I give you this truth that you might labour to be among the few that stand on His word perfectly.
The vision we see is perfection because that is what God has set before us. Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. This is the perfection that comes from complete obedience to all the words of God. The full benefit of God's word shall be ours if we submit fully to it. What is this benefit? Eternal life! It is then we have eternal life. It is then we have good health for ourselves, we get wisdom, we have peace, we receive the guidance of the Spirit, we have power and strength, and we have faith and grow in faith. We also receive His promises fulfilled in our lives, we receive His protection and preservation.
James 1: 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Perfect law that gives liberty in life, liberty from sin, liberty from disobedience, the perfect law, you look into it and continue. Continue to be a doer of the same then you will enjoy the bountiful blessing of the word. That is the word. We are checking ourselves for a real Christianity. I am calling also unto you to please determine for the real Christian life.
Thought for the day: Be a doer of the word to enjoy its bountiful blessings.
Song for the day: Lord teach us Your word
Bible reading for the day: Daniel 7-8; 1 John 5
