Joshua 1:8
"...[B]ut you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." (Joshua 1:8).
"You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me." (John 5:39).
"And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13).
I like v. 46 of this chapter. "Since you reject it and judge yourselves to be unworthy of eternal life..." I always think (and I think a lot of people do this if not most) that we're an exception. Christ died for all of us, not all of us except ____. Or all of us as long as _____.
ReplyDeleteExactly! And notice how rejecting Christ is bringing our own judgment upon ourselves!
ReplyDeleteI like how the Gentiles got excited by Paul's announcment that the gift of salvation is for EVERYONE. We should be excited and make it a point to thank God for His awesome graciousness.
