Romans 3:14

Copyright Ó 2015 J. Neely
Romans 3:14

14 Whose [hos] mouth [stoma] is full [gemo] of cursing [ara] and [kai] bitterness [pikria]:   KJV-Interlinear

14 “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”   ESV

Their mouth, is a continuation of the human race, when it is without truth.  And when truth is absent from humanity then there is nothing left but the lies and bitterness of life.

And that is a good point to consider.  Without doctrine you have no truth.  Truth comes only from the source of Bible doctrine.

No truth, no perspective. No perspective, no orientation to life, or anything else for that matter.

And note too, that cursing is not just the use of a hand full of words that society has decided are curse words.  Anything said in untruth, is cursing.

When Bible doctrine is not present within your soul, then cursing and bitterness is all that remains.

Therefore, live without Bible doctrine and your entire life is a curse, regardless of what you think of yourself.

The only way out of cursing and bitterness, is through the daily study of Bible doctrine.
