Introduction
Greetings...
Last week we finished up looking at a marinade of “Satan’s Lies.”
Everything from the false doctrine of “once saved always saved” to the unfortunate doctrine of theistic evolution.”
Having looked at that I thought it would be good then to turn our attention to that which guides us into all truth today, God’s Word.
In the great we find a large portion of it referencing reactions and expectations of us concerning the Holy Writ.
Over the next several weeks we are going to examine such expectations as “Hope In God’s Word” and “Dedication To God’s Word” but today we will be looking at “Blessings From God’s Word.”
Ps 119:1
Ps 119:
Ps 119:
Ps 119:
Ps 119:9
Ps 119
Let us now examine our lesson for today on “Blessings From God’s Word.”
Let us now examine our lesson for today on “Blessings From God’s Word.”
Blessed Are The Blameless
Ps 119:
Ps 119:
What Does The Word Blameless Mean?
“Blessed are those whose way is blameless...” ().
The word blameless (ESV), undefiled (NKJV), or perfect (ASV) means...
Logos Bible sense “free of guilt, not subject to blame.”
Lexham Analytical Lexicon “complete, unscathed, intact, blameless, without fault, free from blemish...”
Thus the idea is being without sin like a child.
Ps
The blameless walk in the law.
Walking in the law of the Lord is the only way a person that has reached the age of accountability can be blameless before the Lord our God.
This is achieved today because Jesus reconciled us to Him that we may walk in His ways.
Ps 119:
We can only be blameless before our God when we have our “sins washed away” by the blood of Christ ().
So how do we “walk blamelessly” before our God?
First, by seeking & storing God’s Word with our whole heart.
The only way to “walk blamelessly” and keep God’s testimonies is by seeking Him with our whole heart.
Second, by fixing our eyes on God’s ways.
Third, by finding delight in God’s statutes.
Summary
The blessings that flow from God’s Word are the blameless walk we can have with our God through the blood of Christ.
Is there any greater joy found on earth today than that of walking blamelessly with our God?
Again this blameless walk only happens if we seek with a whole heart God’s Word, fix our eyes on His Word, and delight in His Word.
Blessed Are Those That Teach
We can’t teach unless we are taught.
There is no way anyone can teach a subject properly without first being taught and God’s Word is no different.
Thankfully God has provided His Word in its entirety to helps us.
Ps 119:
Because we have been taught God’s Word we are expected to teach others also.
Ps 119:
Teaching others blesses our lives.
I don’t know of anyone that has studied God’s Word with someone that didn’t feel blessed to do so.
That doesn’t mean every time we get the results we are hoping for or that there will not be some kind of disappointment or hurt that comes from someone that rejects God and His Word but the opportunity is always a blessing.
We have been charged with teaching the Word of God to others.
2 Cor
This is talking about apostleship but applies in the generic since to us as seen in the previous verse.
We need to look no further than Paul to see the blessings found in teaching others.
Summary
Though there is great joy in studying God’s Word and blessings as well, there is also great blessings or joy found in teaching others the gospel and the whole counsel of God.
That blessing helps produce in endurance through refreshing our soul.
Conclusion
As God’s children let us “praise God with an upright heart, as we learn of His righteous rules” and “with our lips declare all of His just decrees.”
Everyday there is opportunity to be blessed by God and His Word, let us seek those opportunities out and be comforted by its blessings.
