Lawyers Men

It would be foolish and unwise to think that we can please God while article on a view that reduces the Bible's authority on a par to the writings of say Confucius, Muhammad or Buddha. Many people and denominations today feel that the Bible is no more than, or mostly made up of myths and fables, written to inspire man to Godliness and spirituality. This reasoning is proven woefully wrong internally by the Bible itself.

This kind of reasoning insinuates that the almighty God of all creation used deception by writing words to appear true that were in ensue not true! And no, this would not be akin to using parables. If you notice, Jesus always lets the listeners know if he was and is speaking in parables. The Bible nowhere within it's pages foists this notion. As a matter of fact, Jesus and the apostles used scripture from the Old Testament as a means to prove prophecy and events that occurred therein. Would Jesus in ensue deceive us in using false reference to God's Old Testament? If Jesus spoke in parables, we are informed of it before hand.

The writers of the New Testament epistles fostered the same truths, that the Bible is true to form in every way. Otherwise such verses as 2 Timothy 3:15-17 would make no sense whatever. "And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for schooling which is in righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work."

In Mark 12: 28-34, we read of an exciting situation. A scribe or "expert," of the law approached Jesus with what would be a seemingly easy demand for a Hebrew to answer. This could also mean that few in Israel truly knew the answer. I believe the scribe was not trying to make Jesus look foolish, although if Jesus answered wrong the scribe would have been satisfied with that outcome just as well. But it seems as we study this incident that he seems verily curious and intrigued by Jesus because of His earlier discourse with the Sadducee's. I also feel through the reading and study of this account that he just may have been trying to decide if Jesus was the Messiah or not.

The scribes were trained in the law and the scriptures, and so it could ensue that this scribe was verily finding for the Messiah. Maybe just one of the few such men of rank to verily believe the prophets and their written foreknowledge of Jesus. I truly believe that in normal more than a few of them did not believe Old Testament prophecies with regard to the Savior.

The Jews are said to have divided the law into "greater and smaller" commandments. Which was of the most significance as a whole they had not determined. Some held that it was the law respecting sacrifice, others, the respect of circumcision, others to the washings and purifying, etc. Jesus said of them, "they honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."

This scribe knew without a doubt which of the Laws was greatest. And this should give us a clue as to where this physician of the Law stood in respect to understanding. In front of those Sadducee's and Pharisee's, this scribe agrees, and affirms that Jesus was right on the money with His answer. The scribe was not afraid to avow among his ecclesiastical peers that Jesus had answered correctly and that He (Jesus) demanded attention. Who knows, he may have been part of the business of priests who obeyed the gospel that we read of in Acts 6:7.

And so what does Jesus tell this lawyer of the Law? This is the important part readers. Jesus told him that, "he was not far from the kingdom!" He implied that this scribe was standing right at the door of salvation! Why? Because of the just write back he gave? Or was it something of more importance? Jesus could see into this mans, "heart!" You can believe that Jesus had searched his heart long before this discourse. After this we read that no man asked Him any more questions. I guess not! I think this would have been adequate to convince me of just who Jesus was. And I think the scribe at this point knew also.

"Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Proverbs 4:23. What are the "issues of life?" Just what does this verse mean? Lets look at a few things in relation to these questions.

Jesus came into the midst of the unwelcoming Jews and proceeded to turn their world upside down. These men of God were totally unmovable in their way of acting and thinking. And this is proved by their reaction toward Jesus. They were riding upon a high horse of Abrahamic linage. Why, they were God's chosen people don't you know? And now here comes One who would in no uncertain terms report to them that there was more to spirituality then just being an Abrahamic Jew. They, as a whole and in general, could not fathom this idea of inner good that results from a serious restructuring of the heart! Their rigid formalities and self-absorption had blinded them to any such thoughts that they could be ultimately face finding in.

Sometimes I think that we too in a way are like those Pharisees. Especially those of us who were raised in a church. We sometimes go through the formalities of worship while our hearts are far from our God Jehovah. We sometimes have a cavalier attitude that because we think we are within the body of Christ that all we must do is attend church services once a week that we have fulfilled the "Law of Christ."
Always remember that when it comes down to it, in the end, it is our hearts that will either set us free or convict us. Reconsider what the apostle John says: "Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him: because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God," 1Jn 3:19-21.

It is our hearts that seal our fate so to speak. If in our hearts we have hatred of our brother for example, it then is a matter of deadly sin that will, if to go unchecked accuse us and as a ensue will send us to eternal damnation. This is what the apostle John says. This is some pretty profound stuff folks. It shows us just how important a role our hearts do play in our salvation.

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts, and see if any wicked way is in me; and lead me in the way everlasting," Psalm 139:24.

Again, we see that David was worried about his heart. He knew that there might be something in it that did not set well with God. David prays that God will report to him those things in his heart that were obnoxious to God so that he might root them out of his life and stand righteous before Him. Like David we want to know if there is any inexpressive sin within our hearts. We must then request for retrial to His word in order to know if we are pleasing to Him. David appeals to God to help him see his wrongs. We too should request for retrial to God in this quest, through prayer, meditation and study of His word. This can only help us stand righteous before God. And this is what we would want is it not?

"For Jehovah knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish," Psalm 1:6.
Which will it be for us? Will we store up in our hearts God's words of life or will we be as Saul and live for ourselves?

"Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God," Hebrews 3:12.

The writer of the book of Hebrews appealed to the Christians at Jerusalem to remain just and to grow in the knowledge of truth. He tells them to not be as their relatives generations earlier who never received the "promised land." He calls their unbelief "evil!" And verily unbelief in God and His Son is evil.

Are we growing in Christ? Are we ever studying and nurturing our hearts toward that Promised Land above that has been promised to those who obey from the heart Christ's commands?
I said earlier that the heart never dies, and this is true. But the Bible also says that a heart that has not obeyed God and does not ensue Him is dead while it lives. Yes this man of the world will spend eternity somewhere, but if that somewhere is in hell separated from God, he is truly dead.
If there is nothing else I can do at all, it is my hope and prayer that I through the gospel of Jesus Christ can help you see your need for dependence upon God.

If you have not obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine, which will unite you with God and put you in a loving and saved association with Him, I would encourage you to do so.

"But thanks be to our God that you were the slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the "heart" that form of doctrine to which you were delivered," Rom 6:17.

Do you have a tender heart? A loving heart? A receptive heart that can accept the truth of Christ's gospel? Or is your heart indifferent and rebellious? If you select to remain in your gift state, I have to tell you that your spiritual heart is dead and therefore killing your soul as I speak.
Jesus says, Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light," Mat 11:28-30.

If you would like to know the, "way," of salvation, please feel me.
