Every genuine Christian must know and understand that in 1 John 4:17, the Bible reveals to us that as JESUS CHRIST is, so are WE in this World. True!
Therefore, in Hebrews 12:1,2, the Bible counsels us to LOOK unto JESUS CHRIST, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Take note, take heed!
Now, Jesus Christ while physically on Earth was a HEART and HEAD (Mind) carrying BIBLE person, not a HAND carrying BIBLE person as lots of Christians are today. So sad, so bad!
That is why the Bible counsels us thus:
STUDY to show yourself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needs NOT to be ASHAMED, rightly dividing the WORD of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15).
Also, the Bible counsels us thus:
Let the WORD of CHRIST dwell IN YOU RICHLY in ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And WHATSOEVER you do in WORD or DEED, DO ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:16,17).
Without the WORD of GOD richly dwelling in your HEART and HEAD (Mind), you cannot encounter (enter) and experience (enjoy) the REST and BEST of God in Christ for you in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, don't be deceived because until you become a HEART and HEAD (Mind) carrying BIBLE person, not just a HAND carrying BIBLE person:
1. You cannot STOP SINNING against GOD. True!
That is why King David says thus:
Your WORD have I HID in MINE HEART, that I might not sin against you. (Psalm 119:11).
2. You cannot have GOOD SUCCESS of God in Christ in this World. True!
That is why God instructed Joshua thus:
This BOOK OF THE LAW shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall MEDITATE therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make your way prosperous, and then you shalt have GOOD SUCCESS. (Joshua 1:8).
3. You cannot PROSPER in Christ in this World. True!
That is why the Bible reveals to us thus:
Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the LAW OF THE LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall PROSPER. (Psalm 1:1-3).
4. You cannot have the PEACE of God in Christ in this World. True!
That is why Apostle Paul counsels us thus:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things. Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the GOD OF PEACE shall be with you. (Philippians 4:8,9).
5. You cannot WALK IN THE LIGHT of God in Christ in this World. True!
Thy WORD is a lamp unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH. (Psalm 119:105).
6. You cannot DEFEAT the enemy of God that are against you in Christ in this World. True!
That is why Bible counsels us thus:
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. And take the helmet of salvation, and the SWORD of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of GOD. (Ephesians 6:10-12,17).
7. You cannot GET RESULTS of God in Christ in this World. True!
That is why Jesus Christ reveals to us thus:
Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. When any one hears the WORD of the kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his HEART. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the WORD, and anon with joy receives it; yet had he not root in himself, but dues for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the WORD, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the WORD; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the WORD, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Matthew 13:18-23).
8. You cannot DO or LIVE for God in Christ in this World. True!
That is why Apostle James counsels us thus:
But be you DOERS of the WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (James 1:22-25).
9. And so on....
Every of the Word of God that you move from your HAND to your HEART and HEAD (Mind) becomes the ISSUES of your LIFE in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
That is why the Bible counsels us thus:
My son, attend to my WORDS; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; KEEP them in the midst of thine HEART. For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. KEEP your HEART with all diligence; for OUT of it are the ISSUES of LIFE. (Proverbs 4:20-23).
Jesus Christ confirms this truth thus:
O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For OUT of the abundance of the HEART the mouth speaks. A good man out of the GOOD TREASURE of the HEART brings forth good things: and an evil man OUT of the EVIL TREASURE brings forth evil things. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by your words you shalt be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned. (Matthew 12:34-37).
That is why Apostle Paul counsels us thus:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be NOT conformed to this World: but be you transformed by the RENEWING of your MIND, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of God. (Romans 12: 1,2; Romans 7:14-25; 1 John 2:15-17).
Take note, take heed because the time you will spend daily to move the WORD of GOD from your HAND to your HEART and HEAD (Mind) will not be in vain. It will pay off in your DAYS of ADVERSITY, not being sinful and sorrowful against God as well as in your DAYS of PROSPERITY, not to be lustful and prideful against God and many more benefits. True! (Ecclesiastes 7:14; 1 John 2:15-17; James 1:12-15; Psalm 19:7-14; Psalm 1:1-3; Joshua 1:8).
Always remember that the WORD OF GOD is POWERFUL, PROPHETIC AND PRODUCTIVE in nature in the soils of your HEART and HAND (Mind) par time. True! (Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Matthew 13:18-23).
God bless you.
