You Can Trust the Bible

Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Proverbs 30:5

In 1985, for the first time in more than fifty years, Congress authorized the issue of official US government gold coins. Beginning in 1986, these new coins came on the market. Each of these American Eagles, as they are known, is guaranteed by the US Mint to contain the stated amount of pure 22-karat gold. They come in 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1-ounce sizes, and buyers from around the world trust these coins because they trust the promises of the United States government that the coins are what they claim to be.
When it comes to Scripture, we have something far more reliable than the guarantee of a government—we have the promises of Almighty God that His Word is perfect and pure. God promised to preserve His Word for us. That means that, according to the promise of God, we can have complete faith that every word in the Bible is there on purpose. Psalm 12:7 affirms, “Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”
The very first temptation in human history began with Satan asking Eve, “Yea hath God said?” This challenge to the authenticity of Scripture continues in our day. If God promised to keep His Words—and He did—then we can confidently trust the Bible. God has seen to the preserving of His Word, and the Bible that we hold in our hands today is fully reliable. Instead of evaluating the Word of God and trying to decide if it is trustworthy, God intends for us to use it to evaluate our thoughts and actions. Trust with complete faith and confidence in the Bible you hold—it is guaranteed by God Himself.
Growth Principle:
Never let anyone shake your confidence and faith in the Bible—it is the very Word of God.

Reflect on Love

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26. He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27. And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. Luke 10:25-28

We have spent this whole week looking at love and what love really means. It’s something that can easily be mistaken as predominantly romantic, most relevant on February 14th.
However, in this passage Jesus tells us to direct our love towards two things:
1) God
2) Our Neighbour
And after this command, he says in verse 28 “Do this and you will live.”
To live means to love and to love to the fullest.
Loving God and the people around us.
In a world where hate between race, religion, and political opinions is so prevalent, the command from Jesus to love our neighbour is something we need to hold onto.
It can be easy to show love to the people we like and get on with really well, but what about those who don’t automatically fit into our circle or world- we’re still called to love them too.

The Wedding Feast Part 3

“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”—Matthew 22:14 (NIV)

Jesus always has a poignant way of presenting a picture in a parable, and this section of The Wedding Feast parable is no exception. It’s rooted in truth, contains a warning, and should cause the reader to reflect.
In this parable, the king represents God. Just like the king, God has invited a special group of people (the nation of Israel) to His wedding feast (the kingdom of God). And like the guests in the parable, the Israelites refused the invitation.
Undaunted, the king extended his invitation to anyone, good or bad, who would attend in order that his hall would be filled. This is what God has done through the gospel of Jesus Christ—inviting the undeserving Gentile nations so His kingdom will be full.
But the parable takes a tragic turn when Jesus says the king noticed a guest who was not wearing wedding clothes (Matthew 22:11-12). The king asks how the man got in, but the man is speechless. Jesus then says the king told the attendants: “Tie him hand and foot and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 22:13 NIV).
Why did the king take such drastic measures? Customarily, specific clothes were required to attend such a festive event. To not wear wedding attire was a huge affront to the host; in this case, it was a deadly error on the guest’s part.
How does this fit into the parable? Just as the king looked at the guest and knew he didn’t belong, God looks at our hearts and knows if we are putting on a pretense of self-righteousness. He knows if we are Christians in name only, believing our good works will earn us entry into His kingdom.
That belief is marred. Only through faith in Jesus Christ is salvation possible. Does that seem rigid or unfair? To me, it looks like grace. It looks like a Father who went to great measures, sparing nothing, not even His beloved Son, to ensure that we will live an abundant life now and forever with Him. I’ll take that over eternal darkness, weeping, and gnashing of teeth.
Self-righteousness is a tragedy. Pastor David Guzik defines it as someone indifferent to the gospel, antagonistic toward it, and unchanged by it. Those people will share the same fate—none will enjoy the king’s feast.
Jesus offers to robe us in His righteousness for His kingdom (Isaiah 61:10). We are wise to accept His gracious invitation to be the bride of Christ.
DIG: Read Proverb 20:8 and combine it with what we have learned in this section of the parable about God’s omniscience and judgment.
DISCOVER: Are you encouraged by this parable or unaffected/offended?
DO: If the latter, then please reconsider God’s relentless pursuit of you. You are reading this, someone has spoken to you, and God has invited you. He has offered to clothe you with His garments of salvation and righteousness. Repent, rejoice, and commit or recommit to Him.
