BIBLE:
STUDY OF

None of us can ever be fully pleasing to God if we are not willing to be well taught in His Word.…

I sense a spirit of independence, if not rebellion, in the believer who states, “I am not going to bother with the doctrines and the teachings. I am just going to lean back and enjoy Jesus!” It is the path of least resistance. Although I do not wish to scold anyone at this point, it is where many Christians need proper encouragement and godly example.

God has purposefully given us a mental capacity with wide human boundaries. Beyond that, if we are justified, regenerated believers, He has given us an entirely new spiritual capacity. God wants us to believe, to think, to meditate, to consider His Word. He has promised that the Holy Spirit is waiting to teach us. He has assured us concerning all of our blessings in Jesus Christ.
