John 15:3+7
I was reading in John 15 and it really hit me when I read the scripture in verse 3 where it says Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
This scripture suggests that the word makes us clean. I always thought when we sin or do something wrong we have to repent meaning making a decision to not do it anymore and feel sorry for it and ask God for forgiveness and pray. But this scripture really made me understand that it is the Bible that changes us that Judges us the Bible is the mirror where we see our true face how we look in the eyes of God and that's why we have to reed it more and more and meditate on it. The word is sharper than a to edged sword and it sometimes it really cut's us deep. But it also gives you faith, it brings us closer to God . The most important thing with I realised is that the when you read the word with a hunger then God fills you (Matt 5:6) and suddenly thing's that you struggled with suddenly are gone the desire to do evil is gone the temptations are still there but they can't get to you because you are filled with the word of God.
In verse 7 of John 15 it gives you an incredible promise if the word lives and stays in you. Reading the bible is so important and we have to ask our selves if we do it because we have to or if we do it with a desire to afflict our self to change our character to learn and most important to get closer to God and get that faith because without faith it impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.(Heb11:6) so we can't expect God to move if we don't do that.
There are lot more things I would like to pass on. We have to keep passing on everything we learn and the Lord will give us more and more.
