ONE WAY ONLY

By Rick Mathes

2 Timothy 2:15 (NASB77) ¹⁵  Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth.

When God spoke His love letter, the Bible, the Holy Spirit was he editor who made certain that every word was exactly the purosed message of god: nothing more, nor nothing less. Exact! That dust collecting book on your fireplace mantle needs to be taken seriously. There is, was nor ever will be another approaching more importance than God’s Word. Why do you thnkk this is the last thing the devil wants you to not read? Notice how all the things of hour busy day was reduced your study of the Scriptures to ju be a few minute a week and usually just in the Sunday service.

It takes a firmness of purpose to turn from hells wa to havens way. No one can make you do ths but you.. We enjoy freedom but it can turn on us; if we freely chose to ignore our Creator and His words to us, His loved ones; Systematic study taken and earnestness of purpose that only the serious believers can accomplish.

You have got to be anxious to get into the Word or your knees will quickly buckle and you will stumble into the arms of our guardian demon. There is at least one hell-hound assigned to you and hat can grow to leions if you stand above the rest and do a might work for our Lod. Satan doesn’t care what you resolve and promise to do for God just don’t do it today!

This run for the prize of your upward calling is continuous action. There con’t be fits and starts and tops and pauses. There must be a regular rhythm and it must be continued. Making your study of the Word a regular day to day activity is like exercising. You will continue to sharpen your sword but if you become lax and lazy, your sword will rusts and loose it’s edge.

I might caution you however to make hour adventure in the Word a careful effort to adhere to the canon (Word of God). A twelve inch ruler can only be 12 inches long and no longer or shorter. The Word is Truth and the law of non-contradiction is rock-solid and unchangeable.

So approach the only way to heaven humbly recalling how unworthy you are for God even to notice you much less save you from the eternal dying in the mansion Lucifer offers. There is only one way and one Word of God go guide your there. What are you waiting for?
