Proverbs 1:23
23 Turn [shuwb] you at
my reproof [towkechah]:
behold, I will pour out [naba`] my
spirit [ruwach] unto
you, I will make known [yada`] my
words [dabar] unto
you. KJV-Interlinear
23 If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will
pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you. ESV
People do not
learn and do not grow in the Christian life, because they try to do things
their own way, totally ignoring God’s way of teaching.
You cannot be
indifferent, and expect to learn.
You cannot
function in the spiritual life, without the words of doctrine.
You cannot lean on
the words of doctrine, without the function of the spiritual life.
And all too often,
people try to do one without the other, and therefore they fail.
The Bible
repeatedly tells people to wake up, to behold, to listen, to turn toward the
teaching of the word of God. But you have to do things God’s way, not your own
way.
Turn to Gods
teaching, means simply that you have to want to learn, and then you have to
learn in accordance with how God teaches.
I will pour out my
spirit, is a phrase that we should all know. That means you enter into
fellowship with God, by means of confession of your sins, and that places the
Holy Spirit in control of your soul.
You cannot feel
the Holy Spirit, you cannot sense the Holy Spirit, you cannot detect the Holy
Spirit.
The things of this
physical life cannot gauge the things of the spiritual life. But God promises
that when you are in fellowship, then the Holy Spirit will be active and
functional for the purpose of channeling spiritual information into your soul.
And that is how you legitimately learn.
Jesus Christ is a
living person. He is God. He is man. He is the living breathing manifestation
of the word. And when you learn Bible doctrine, which is the word, then you
effectively bring Christ into your soul.
Bible doctrine
learned and incorporated into your soul, is Christ in you.
And all of the
emotional nonsense of citing words and phrases, without the real function of
the spiritual life, are nothing more than empty comments in an otherwise empty
spiritual life.
Every person in
this world has the phenomenal opportunity of being saved by believing in
Christ.
Every person who
has believed in Christ, has the phenomenal opportunity of advancing in their
spiritual life, which is advancement in your own meaning and purpose, and relationship
with God through Christ.
Bible doctrine is
Christ. And to have Christ in you and a relationship with God, you have to
learn Bible doctrine. And to learn Bible doctrine, you have to want to learn.
And you have to do it in the right way.
A right thing done
in the wrong way, is wrong.
A wrong thing done
in the right way, is wrong.
A wrong thing done
in the wrong way, is obviously wrong.
A right thing has
to be done in the right way, in order to be right.
You cannot
substitute your method of spirituality, for God’s method.
And I will make my
words known to you.
Bible doctrine is learned
and known when you are in fellowship, never when you are out of fellowship.
And that simply
states that all Bible doctrine is learnable, and knowable, and can be
efficacious to the construction of spiritual complex within your soul, and the
completion of your life.
Bible doctrine is
only a mystery to those who do not approach it correctly.
Truth is ever
before us, and is learnable, and is knowable.
But, if you do not
end your laziness, and begin following the instruction of a daily study of the
word of God, then the failure of your life and lack of understanding, is your
fault and no one else’s.
This daily study
has been written by me on a daily basis for well over two decades. There are thousands of individual studies
available online on the main study web site.
They are all freely and easily available. Through these studies you can complete and advance
in your life.
And, it does not
cost you anything but the movement of your finger onto the links to get each
and every study.
Unbelievers fail
because they refuse to have a simple thought in their mind, believing in
Christ.
Believers fail
because they do not make the effort to learn the vast mountain of knowledge
that God has provided. They prefer to
live in their own delusional world of pretense and phony spirituality.
But this proverb
clearly states that if you pursue Gods word, in Gods way, then you will learn
and grow and advance in your life.
The only thing
preventing you, is you.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily
study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big
time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
