Does God’s word convict us? Do we truly feel sorrowful for our sins as we ask God to forgive us? Is our repentance from the heart or just words we speak to the air? Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. In Jesus name AMEN

GOD after He spoke to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, has in these last days spoken to us in His Son whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom He also He made the world. Hebrews 1.1. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says. Revelation 2,3. This is My beloved Son, hear Him. Whoever says “I know Him” but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in Him. 1 John 2.4-6. What He says must be applied to our lives.

According to the scriptures, the word of God is the sword of the Spirit. Ephesians 6.17. It is living and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword, a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4.12. It is true, honest, just, pure and lovely, study it. It is given to us to meditate on and follow.

Some twist the words and meaning of Matthew 7.1-5. They read, do not judge lest you be judged and read no further.  But there are scriptures that tell us there are people and things we should judge. Judge all things John 7.24; Judge sin within the church 1 Corinthians 2.15-16; Judge matters between brethren 1 Corinthians 6.5; Judge preaching 1 Corinthians 14.29 Judge false spirits and those who teach and preach other gospels and false doctrines. 2 Corinthians 11.1-4; judge the works and workers of darkness Ephesians 5.11; Judge false prophets and false apostles 2 Peter 2; John 4.1; Revelation 2.2; Judge false Christians among us 1 John 2.18-20. Yes, we should judge but judge with a righteous judgement John 7.24. Judge with humility, look at your own life before passing judgement on others. Do not judge others for things you are doing yourself.

All scripture is inspired by God (God breathed).Moved by the Holy Spirit, holy men of God spoke words meant for our learning that we might have hope through the patience and comfort of the scriptures. We should be thankful to God for His holy inspired word. It was through His divine power we have all things that pertain to life and godliness.
