God's Word

Wow! When I read this this morning it was a shout from God.

Proverbs 13:13

13 He who despises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

This verse can not be more to the point. If one despises or hates God's Word the end result will be destruction. For if he hates God's Word then he hates Jesus and one can not go to heaven without a relationship with Jesus Christ. You ask how can I say if someone hates the Word how can I say they hate Jesus? read this verse:

John 1:1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

In reality the Word is Jesus! So to hate one is to hate the other! Now lets shift to the other side, the man that fears God's Word will be rewarded. That reward will be eternity in heaven with Jesus forever. It don't get any better than that!

Now here is what I want us to think about...are we in the Word? I find it interesting that most folks who call themselves Christians have never read their Bible all the way through. What does that say about our love for the Word???

That should give you something to chew on over the weekend. Have a good one!
