Week 89: Spotless In His Eyes

Song Of Solomon 4:7

7You are all fair, my love, and there is no spot in you.

Jesus tells us His bride, “You are all fair, My love, and there is no spot in you.” But our reply to Him tends to be, “Me? All fair and no spot? You don’t know me, Lord!”

I remember when I was a young christian, I had this idea from the Leviticus law in the Old Testament that whenever I sinned against God, I should exclude myself from God. All was well and good that I read my bible. I had this consciousness that God is holy and I was not worthy to come near Him when I sinned. Just like Peter when he caught a load sinking of fishes under Jesus's direction, the first thing he did was he knee down before the Lord and said "Depart from me for I am a sinful man!"

Week 88: What Manner of Spirit?

There are a few accounts in the Old Testament where the fire judgement of God were mentioned. For example, the story of literal fire judgement that fell upon the enemies of the prophet Elijah told in 2 Kings 1:1-15. Another account would be Sodom and Gomorrah as in Gen 19:24-25.

But it is important to know that God today wants us to rightly divide His Word. He wants us to be astute in rightly dividing and separating what belongs to the old covenant of law and what belongs to new covenant of grace.

2 Timothy 2:15

15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
