Jayamsih..! Welcome to today’s devotion!
Response is not an ‘issue’
Matthew 27:39
- People respond to the truth. He makes the reaction an issue. When the truth judges by man’s nature, it never praises his life but always reveals to him, that he is ultimately nothing, (John 15:5). Finally, it seems that his life is limited to analyzing the effects of truth without baptism on life because of death alone.
When a person sacrifices the truth for his own personal escape, he always escapes the life of God. God does more than escape truth, He escapes life.
True Christianity is always incompatible with my true natural nature. Satan wants people to uplift the Christian life by their natural man, and if they feel terrible, it means they are not in God’s will. Therefore death is not something that I can analyze but something that I experience when I do not analyze the word of God.
For example, Abraham begat Ishmael, it is sad that Abraham produced works beyond faith. When man does everything beyond faith to meet God’s will, then God has to reject his works because they are immoral.
Substituting our works for His faith only produces silence between God and man. After Abraham performed this act of substitution, there were 13 years of silence in his relationship with God. Through God’s Word, we have ears that are full of faith.
