To have a beginning I must start at the top: Jesus. Without Jesus there is no beginning. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.” John 1:1-3. In the beginning God speaking words equals God creating.
The highest calling of human life involves the Spirit’s control of words. “And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.” James 3:2b. Words are important to Jesus as He says, “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37.
I cannot lovingly use the Word of God to prove myself right. The Word of God shows me where my thinking is not lining up with God’s will. “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” II Timothy 3:16. God’s Word will not allow me to “be conformed to this world, but” I will “be transformed by the renewal of” my “mind, that by testing” I “may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2.
God’s will is that I pass on to others the Word of Jesus. “Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9.
No words of mine can ever compare to the truth about Jesus. So with that said, I have begun my blog.
