Trusting Christ is More Promises to Him

1 Corinthians 2:13-15 " And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment."

Do not be shocked when those who say they are Christians do not understand the principles of God, or when they change the meanings to fit their desired lifestyle.

Misunderstanding and worse, being dedicated to misunderstanding, is a choice. Everyone has the ability to ask God to reveal truth to them. Those who hold onto false doctrine are doing it by choice when they do not ask God.

The refusal to ask God to show them the truth is a denial of Him. It is the same as saying, "I have decided what I want to believe and you (God) do not matter."

Those who walk with Christ, guided by and possessed by the Holy Spirit, are not subject to man's judgment, but have the ability to judge all things because Christ lives in them.

Often, we do not know something because we are trusting in our own senses instead of being directed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will only speak to us if we want Him to, if we want our own way He will let us, so we learn how destructive our own thoughts and ways can be.

Romans 8:7-9 "because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ."

1 John 4:6 "We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception."

It is not hard, really; all we have to do is trust in Christ, believe Him when He speaks through His Word, and do what He says. It might not always make sense to our human mind, but eventually we will see why God commanded what He did, and it is for our own good and perhaps the good of others.

Hallelujah!!!
