Answers In Their Bibles

“making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”  Mark 7:13

For those who believe in the Lord Jesus, it hardly seems possible that His word could be made of no effect. Yet for those who do not believe, it is quite the opposite, and indeed the words of the title for today were used dismissively toward our brothers in Christ. God is separating us from the world and the Bible, His word, is the sword doing the dividing. For those who believe, there are indeed answers in the Bible and through His word our Lord speaks to us every day. Without faith, the Bible does not help in the current world, and there is no magic formula to save anyone. In faith, we live in Christ and rejoice in His imminent return. 

In the style of John, I like to compare the attitudes toward the Word of God. Faith makes all the difference between those who dismiss 'their Bibles' and those who read and study our Bibles as the very word of God. This latest crisis shows quite clearly the choice many have made on whether to believe in Jesus or to reject Him. The time for this choosing grows short!

Rejoice in the Lord all ye who believe!
