Christians and their beloved Bible

If you are a church-going, Bible-believer, you are probably relying on the Scriptures (God’s Word) for your relationship with him. You are confident that all is well between yourself and God because his Son’s death has atoned for your sins. Yes, you God has a plan for your life and you know right from wrong because you have been taught the Bible while attending church. You are convinced that you possess the four spiritual laws which are needed by those who are lost in darkness without God. You think you can teach new believers and children the way of God because you are convinced that in God’s Word you have complete knowledge and truth.

Well, then, if you teach other, why don’t you teach yourself? You tell the church to build each other up with grace and mercy, but do you show grace and mercy? You say it is wrong to be unforgiving, but do you forgive? You teach that we should love one another, but do you love? You are so proud of your Bible knowledge, but you dishonor God by breaking it. No wonder the Scriptures say, “The world blasphemes the name of God because of you.”

If this sounds like something you read somewhere in the Bible, you did in Romans 2:17ff.
