Over the course of a series of
blogs we are outlining two reasons why heeding the Bible is going to be at the
foundation of our life together as a church.
From our previous blogs we saw that the first reason was that the Bible
is at the foundation of our life together because it is God’s word. In this blog we will continue to outline the
second reason…because the Bible is trustworthy and true.
The
difference the truth makes…to life now as God’s saved people…
From
Psalm 119 I have picked out 9 differences having this trustworthy and true word
of God at the foundation of our life together as a church will make. We will look at 1 each day over 9 days…
3 – Hearing and Heeding God’s
word leads a life where we remain Learners not experts of God’s word
What
I love about Psalm 119 is that it is clear the Psalmist is a heavy hitter when
it comes to God’s word…verse 97…all day long he meditates on God’s word…
All
day!! I struggle with half an hour, and
yet for all his meditating, he prays again and again in the Psalm that God
would teach him his word that he would understand.
·
One who
knows God’s word is his faithful promise of eternal rescue… knows that the
absolute best way to live is as a learner of that word…
o
The more
you learn from this word…the more you are taught by God of his grace (in all
its truth) – Colossians 1.6
o
And the
more you fill you mind with the things of this word…the things Philippians 4
describes as…true …noble …right …pure …lovely … admirable…excellent…praiseworthy…the
more you’ll live life to the full…
