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.
Colossians 3:25
25 But [de] he that doeth wrong [adikeo] shall receive [komizo] for the wrong [adikeo] which [hos] he hath done: [adikeo] and [kai] there is [esti] no [ou] respect of persons. [prosopolepsia]KJV-Interlinear
25 For he who does wrong will
receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without
partiality. NASB
Any slave, has an
obligation to care for the property of the master, which has been placed in the
care or handling or maintenance by the slave.
God is the master.Humanity is the slave.Bible doctrine is Gods property.Truth is Gods property.And by those two, all things exist.Therefore, any waste, indifference, misuse,
abuse, theft, fraud, etc., etc., etc., is a wrong performed by each person.
God gave man life and
doctrine and volition, and those three capital items
present tremendous potential value to the slave (each individual believer).
Humanity is obligated
to God for their life.Those who reject
God and remain unbelievers with regard to Christ, cheat on everything.They take, without giving anything back.Even the support of religions, which are all
false, is a waste of Gods resources.And
refusal to support Christianity is also a wrong.A wrong of selfishness.
Those who believe in
Christ, but refuse to obey the mandates of God, refuse to support doctrine,
refuse to pursue their spiritual life in a legitimate fashion, and so forth,
likewise cheat and wrong God.They lose
eternal reward.
The capital (your spiritual
life) not invested, never earns profits (eternal reward).The person who pursues the rewards of this
world, is rejecting God and Gods plan, and pursues their own reward and ego and
respect.
But remember, God
respects only truth.And if truth
resides inside of your soul, then God respects you only to the extent of the
truth located in your soul.
God has no respect for
people per se.People are dust (biological),
fashioned by God.People possess human
life (human life imputed into the soul), created out of nothing by God.People who believe in Christ, receive yet a
third life form, eternal life (imputed in the human spirit), originated by God
in eternity past and created (out of nothing) at the moment of the individuals
belief in Christ.
Note that the dust is
discarded and will one day be replaced by a resurrection body after the same
pattern of creation as human life and eternal life.Resurrection bodies do not come from the
womb.All three of which are eternal and
incorruptible.
In all of these, man
possesses no respect.Man has no source
for righteousness or respect.Those who like
to complain of being disrespected, Don t dis. me, are arrogant to the core.
No person can earn nor
ever deserve respect, and God certainly offers none for humanity.
God looks to truth, and
to the extent that you have truth in you, then you have
Gods attention.Otherwise you are
nothing more than corruption, and whoever loved rotten putrid maggot infested
meat (you without God)?
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.
