Bible Teachings
Wisdom of God vs Wisdom of Man III
Welcome Brothers and Sisters to another Bible Teachings, today we are discussing the hardest topic that many of us fail to understand or keep in our hearts. This is about wisdom, how our own knowledge if follower of Christ should be from him to Mankind's knowledge. This is hard to discuss because sometimes as followers of Christ we wouldn't get things right either. This takes a teacher of both God and faithful man of God to teach us how we should live and how our wisdom must be used or known from God. In this day and age we can obtain knowledge by many means that doesn't involve Christ Jesus. This can come in forms of education, how to construct in places, policemen, firefighter, doctors, lawyers, video games, tv shows, youtube and just everything. You may not realize it, but even when reading or spending time alone on certain things is obtaining some knowledge.
Last time we have discussed about Man's Wisdom, in the last chapter you will find everything that would be describe our every-day/life without God in our lives. One thing that needs understanding is that while not everyone is evil, in fact most are decent people in this world, yet being decent or good by our own standards isn't enough. For many times in the Bible God reminds us we have no strength or power to removed sin that always lives in us and cannot be removed no matter our strength or power. For some who are into fiction, don't think any power from there will help because only God can cover our sins, and only when we depart as Follower of Christ do we live holy once more and without sin in our lives.
Viewing the world from God's Perspective
One of the greatest weakness all humanity has is no spiritual view of God, not even knowing his truth or understanding who God is in everyone of our lives. Who God is beyond our understanding, but what God is willing to reveal is already telling of who he is and the truth that can provide for our everyday life when following him. One truth is when placing God's perspective over our own, many of us starting out will be frustrated with how everything we know and understand is wrong because it's from our own perspective not God's. Many times in the Bible, we're told how God view of the world is always different.
There are example is many times when talking of Israelites and their history before the now, they didn't always have God's perspective or standards as all of us born into this world. Sometimes we tend to lean on our perspective base on sight, this is an danger because living by sight is leads to concepts and understanding by this world's view, for this world view is corrupted by Satan's influence in people, world, life and reality. Making truth unseen by sight, which is why many who have truly follow Christ are those who have lead faith by the unseen. Without Faith we can't follow God's intended plan and allow him to guide our lives. The best way to start understanding God's Perspective is reading books of Psalm and Proverbs. These two are written by those who know God most and truly desiring seeking him. All of us can have this, yet we also can be lead astray.
Choices from God's Standards
If there is one thing in life that's already hard for us, it's the choices we make on daily routine and habit. Many times our choices outside of God is never right, If anything when living for ourselves even if we say we're "Good person", it's not entirely true. One of these problems is knowing what is right and wrong, on a personal level I can tell you that sometimes when knowing his word and truth, there are times I chose myself over God. And that leads to me being lazy, inactive routine and just doing nothing. But if any of us claim to be Christians, Saints and Believers we need God's character, and that means making choices that God wants us to make and obey his command. Take the 10 commandments for example, Christ Jesus has spoken that if we break one of these commandments, then we break all of them. This tells us we need to follow all his commandments. That means making the choice to follow God's Standards and choice to follow him.
You may not realize it, but when you decide to either read this chapter of Bible Teachings or doing this out of boredom your already making choices. All of us are still making choices, to look, speak, hear, move, sit, everything is still a choice. The only different is when follow Christ we are making our choices towards what he wants from us, for many times choices for God is hard and many times reading the Bible you can find that choosing to Follow God can lead to both blessings and suffering. When Christ Jesus came to this world, he not only became savior of our lives, he demonstrated how we can live as follower of God. His example is what leads us towards situation, circumstance, interaction with people and more. David is also the example before he sin by lust, saying he truly was after God's heart. If our choices still remains from our standards we cannot make choices that are pleasing to God.
Moral Faith made from God's Holy Words
Faith will bring much change in our lives, but it's not without Faithfulness can change truly happen. Morality from God is very rare and very few in our today's society. If anything we tend not to follow through with his moral and make up our own. This is either by experience or selfish desire for our own sake. Morality is hard by human standards because no one as human can have moral standards. The fact we have this concept of Moral Gray is already proof without God we're truly lost in this world, when the days of tribulation happens, no one will ever be middle ground. Instead God will have you decide if your for him or against, and sadly rather you know or not being born a sinner into this world, your already against him.
As little children, yes we don't know better. But you can see many of them have "Me, me, me" in mind. This already is signs of our choosing ourselves over God. Your already saying that's not fair, I didn't know better. Yes that's true, but we are born sinners and unless we are taught by our parents faithful to God, we will grow up having no moral standards. Many children are growing up without knowing God and his ways, to the point that even some churches no longer follow him. As you may have notice, many of us are becoming divided, and one of these divides are relationships between man and woman. It's now acceptable to have gay and lesbian relationship. Because from God's view that's an abomination to how he created us. Now as followers of Christ, we are to love the person, but not accept their ways. Meaning we should always love those even if they are strangers, enemies or those we hate/dislike most. Yet we do not practice their ways, never live by their standards, or accept their views they have on life. We can be friends with people, but not behave like people. This concept from God gets pushed aside because nobody wants to hear what God says is right or wrong, we don't judge people but tell them how God words for those that will hear and can be saved.
Lessons learned by seeking, knowing, and living towards God
When learning something new, growing up with change, are taught lessons that will help us. The only lessons we should always know and learn everyday is God's lessons from his Holy Word of the Bible and from those in fellowship as disciples or discipling others. I can say before starting Bible Teachings, I had some problems with ministry others, one of them is because I was fearful of becoming a false teacher and other times I didn't care. Yet overtime as seeking, knowing and starting living towards God, that perspective and view changed. Now having Bible Teachings around the world to see in this sight, I hope you will find God in your hearts in any moment or time when hearing his words. If your a first timer, you can start seeking God by praying and asked in repentance for your forgiveness of sin. They are the best starting points for anyone towards seeking God.
But awhile I do this, there are dangers to teaching if we aren't careful. One of these dangers mention before is false teaching. That being if your religious through other beliefs that don't have Christ, Bible or any of his standards, they are living a false lie from those teaching falsehood. When teaching, ministry, discipling others, you must place god first. For only he can provide what you need, and to allow those to know his truth you have to pray before teaching others about God. I say pray because without prayer you can't communicate with God, and God is always speaking to us even when we don't hear or listen. Even pray when you learn something, for there is always more meaning to what God is saying and teaching us. We are still human with flaws, and even then there is more to learn. But one important warning is to those that teach falsely, if your not following God's teaching that have been taught to you. Yet you only pick and chose the words of the Book your comfort or feel good about yourself, then you need relook how you are living, cause one day Lord Jesus will see and hear those who say Lord, Lord saying how they done their works in his name. Christ Jesus will say to them, depart from me, I never knew you.
Daily Living through his Understanding
Folks, our everyday life without God is already a mess. If anything living without God in our lives is already the result of our world, but there are those who follow God are already having his wisdom and understanding in this world. Yet there are some of us who claimed to be Christians, Saints and believers don't always know or how to follow God. We are living in times where we need his guidance more so then ever, only he can provide and those that follow him we find in fellowship. No matter the struggles, situation, challenges, circumstance we must place ourselves in his hands and be submissive to his will. We can live without fear or worry when we trust in him, to the point that even if the world fall apart around us, we trust in him and walk with God in our daily step towards Christ.
Know that in our everyday struggle is the Spiritual warfare for our souls, for there are powers that aren't seen in this world already using those who become blind or ignorant to their surroundings and places they are heading. For many the board and wide path is the gateway towards destruction, only those who follow the narrow and straight will we find him. I know that sometimes you have heard of this before on other chapters, people or other lessons as followers of Christ, but sometimes we need to be reminded of these words of truth and must always live by them. We will make mistakes yes, we will fail in his way yes, we will feel like giving up yes, but if you truly want to be seeking Christ in your life. Have integrity in God and for your daily living, in this day and age we must preserve and be watching for the day Christ will return or when the rapture will happen.
