17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. ~ Romans 10:17
Today, we often hear that we don’t need the Bible to know God or to have a relationship with Him. But without the Bible, we wouldn’t even know about God. As Paul explained, “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” Without the Word of God, we cannot please God.
This kind of thinking opens us up to the Spirit of Deception because we now base our ideas and descriptions of God on our own desires and biases. As a result, our minds become dark and confused, and our body then follows and is filled with darkness. So what are we to do? All we can do is give up our own thoughts and biases, open our Bible, and ask God to show us the truth as we read His word. This is the only way we will ever truly know God.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Give Up Your Biases.
