Today’s Thought “Stamp of Approval?” G. Ward

Hebrews 10

²⁶ For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.

 

To become resolute concerning all that Christ offered us, requires both corporate and personal pursuit (cf. Ac.17:11) and whereas the excitement may dwindle, particularly after such fervor of initial gratitude in being delivered from sin becomes too familiar, even more discipleship is required. We absolutely never pinnacle from being HIS student. Moreover, our limited abilities keep us regarded as children of God; dependent forever. Unfortunately, there exists a spiritual lethargy with some days for many, causing them a wrongful consideration towards cultural religiosity (i.e., sayings, seemingly spiritually acceptable, along with personal pursuits appearing godly, but lacking HIS directives) and an unfortunate practice thereunto can/will lead one, once so convinced, to straddle between two opinions (cf. Josh 24:15). Eternity with God is compromised every time we’ll settle for words and storylines with religious tint. Our lives, no matter the scholastic aptitude, calls for prudent investigation of God’s Word on His terms, and questions every writer and others pervading motivationalists’ theorizing that seeks to thwart sufferings (with absolute refusal to address such).
