I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. Be surety for Thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. Mine eyes fail for Thy Salvation, and for the Word of Thy righteousness. Deal with Thy servant according unto Thy mercy, and teach me Thy Statutes. I am Thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know Thy Testimonies. It is time for Thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void Thy Law. Therefore I love Thy Commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all Thy Precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. (Psalms 119:121-128)
Our righteousness, the only righteousness that will save us, is in the Word. It is in the Word made flesh, for we are in Christ, and He in us, replacing the filthy rags of our unrighteousness for His perfect righteousness. It is in the written Word for our faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of GOD, if we have not believed in vain. GOD's Word cannot fail, and our trust and believe is in Him, so it is firmly anchored in the Author and Finisher of our faith.
GOD's Word has many parts, and each is to be studied to rightly divide them as the Spirit gives us understanding. From historical narrative, revealing GOD and His dealings with His creation, and His people; to the wisdom and poetry of the Psalms and Proverbs, to the Commands and Prophecy proclaiming His goodness and our judgment; throughout His Word GOD speaks through the people He chose to write His Words and transmit them to us. It is Power, it is Life, it is Holy, and we as people of the Book are to look to it as our final Authority in all we say, think, and do.
We are to share His Word with those around us: Partake of it, as we do our daily bread, to hear from GOD; Pronounce its Doctrines, its Reproofs, its Corrections, and its Instructions so that all may hear and learn and grow; and Preach it to one another for discipleship and to the lost for Salvation.
We share His Word to those that are without by the Command and Commission of GOD because GOD is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and be born again by faith in His finished and perfect work on that cruel Roman cross, and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Understand and believe the work Jesus has already accomplished for you on the Cross of Calvary and believe His Word today.
In Christ,
