15
For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same
function,
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one body.
AMEN
This means that God knows each and every one of us has a precise function for the specific
benefit of each other.
How would God be able to teach us to practice the very things he commands us to if we
continually walk the way of man.
The principles of the world have shown us, they do not work for the good, and there is only
one that is good, as we know.
MATTHEW 19:17
So He said to him, “ why do you call me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
It is unfortunate though, if we do fall, that we do not spot it.
1 TIMOTHY 2:14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
Transgression: overstep.
JOB 13:23
How many are my iniquities and sins?
Make me know my transgression and my sin.
Jobs wife told him to curse God and die, but his response was this: and it should be ours.
JOB 2:10
But he said to her, “ you speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed
accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin
with his lips.
This may remind us of: the foolish virgins and the lack of oil in their lamps.
We know that the oil we desire can be in us, although it depends on one thing (the
condition of our heart).
We may not sin with our mouth but we may do in our heart.
Please God, forbid and let us be sober and vigilant.
1PETER 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour.
We have to continually examine what we allow to filter through our minds and hearts,
would we listen to the voices that whisper to our minds knowing that they cause us harm
spiritually?
The enemy will tempt from within as well as without.
Sometimes a voice will criticise a brother or a sister and praise God for the times we abort
such thoughts.
What happens when someone from outside comes along to reinforce that lie, do we get
captured?
