The Special of the Day… From the Orange Moon Cafe…

    “The Savior and the Scriptures"       

     

     The supremacy of the Savior and the supremacy of the Scriptures guides born again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as we seek to “worship the Father in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23).

     The living Word, the Lord Jesus, and the written Word, the Bible, form and inform our knowledge of God and the relationship with Himself to which He calls us.  We are creatures  - “new creatures” - of both heart and mind (II Corinthians 5:17).  We know Somebody. We believe something.  

    “The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God” (Romans 8:16).

    “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by Thy name, O Lord God of hosts” (Jeremiah 15:16).

    We cannot begin to adequately comprehend even the first word of the Bible apart from God’s personal influence administered by the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 2:11).  Nor can we properly and personally relate to our Heavenly Father apart from the teaching and influence of Scripture.  “In Thy light shall we see light” (Psalm 36:9).  The glory of the Savior illuminates the written Word of God, even as the glory of the Scriptures enables our personal response to Him in truth and reality (Psalm 36:9).    

    Our calling involves the expectant faith that the living and true God will lead us in personal fellowship with Himself through the Holy Spirit who dwells so near to us that He dwells within us (I Corinthians 3:16).  He will also lead us to His Word, that we might be confident our experience of Him is guided by the doctrinal truth that ensures the God we know is, in fact, the God of truth and reality.  The supremacy of the Savior, the living Lord Jesus, and the supremacy of the Scriptures, the written words of God, lead us in a life of the personal and the principle for which our hearts and minds exist.

“I am… the Truth.”

(John 14:6)

“Thy Word is truth.”

(John 17:17)
