trusting in the word of God

24Sep08

A good question was posed rhetorically yesterday: What is the most spiritual experience that man could have?
Answer: To know God in a relationship by grace through faith.

Comparison between experiences that appear to bring one closer to God is moot. Salvation – and therefore a relationship with God – is effective through the blood of Christ, and not through the affections of man.

And another question: What is the most sure way to obey God?
Answer: To trust in the word of God and follow it.

At a time I thought I was merely following what I know is right in the Bible and it’s not as intimate; I felt like perhaps my friends knew God a little better and able to hear His voice and obey Him from personal pointers.

So I am comforted that even in my sinful heart, mundane life and weakest moment of struggle… I know God and I trusted in His word. Therefore my experience was spiritual, therefore I was obedient to Him.

Now to grow in my knowledge of my Lord Jesus Christ and trust in His word more and more.
