You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
Isa. 63:6
6 And I will tread down [buwc] the people [`am] in mine
anger ['aph], and make them drunk [shakar] in my fury [chemah], and I
will bring down [yarad] their strength [Netsach] to the earth ['erets]. KJV-Interlinear
6 And I trod down the peoples in My anger, And made them
drunk in My wrath, And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth. NASB
The
certainty of this end to human history, is stated as though it has already
occurred, even though it is a future event.
Humanity can know his own future, even know that it is not going to be a
very good one, but humanity on the whole will ignore the warnings from God and
continue to that very stated destiny of destruction.
This
shouldn t seem very odd. People know the
warnings against smoking, and they still smoke. People know the warnings
against lots of things, like drunkenness, promiscuousness, drug abuse, and so
forth, and still people ignore the warnings, and make use of and abuse these
things to their own detriment.
Bible
doctrine is no different. People know of
the Bible, they know of the warnings of hell and damnation, they know of the
promises of blessing, and so forth, and yet people just do not make the
principles taught in the Bible, a core part of their life.
And
here, I am not speaking about the clich phrases like Love one another, or
Do unto others, or things like that.
The fundamental principle, which people ignore, is the function of their
daily study.
What
you do in life is not the spiritual life.
What you think, is. What you do,
results from what you think.
Any
unbeliever or negative believer can, Do unto
However,
only the mature believer incorporates the fundamental doctrines in his own soul,
which are the basis for his actions. Not
that the mature believer can t be a jerk from time to time. Human is human.
The
big difference between the mature believer and the non-mature person, is the
overall pattern of their respective lives.
The mature believer has spiritual growth, and therefore spiritual assets
and stabilities and understandings.
The
non-mature person lacks these things.
The non-mature person lacks spiritual growth, if they even had any, they
lack stability in their life, and they certainly lack understanding. They live in the carnal world.
And,
as far as those who ignore God, Christ, doctrine and their spiritual lives? They reap Gods anger Gods policy of
discipline or judgment. They reap Gods
wrath the application of Gods justice.
They lose their life-blood in ignoring the true component of their
life and existence, they lose their life s advantages, which by the way all
come from God. Unbelievers forfeit their
right to heaven, negative believers forfeit their rights to the excess
blessings that will be available to them in heaven.
Gods
policies have been in existence forever.
They are consistent in every circumstance. God dealt the very same with Lucifer, now
Satan, as He does with each and every human being in history. The God of pre-historic times, is the same
God we have today, and the same we will have forever.
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
