The Standard
Focus:
Scriptures:
|
Isaiah 8:20 Luke 4:1-24 |
1 John 4:1 John 1:1 John 12:48 |
Genesis 3:1-7, 17 1 John 4:4-6 2 Timothy 2:15 |
Points:
If we study the Word of God, we will know God's voice.
The Standard of God is like a magnifying glass to examine all word.
Don't just talk about the standard, we must live the standard.
Satan speaks the standard of men and not the standard of God.
Summary:
The Word of God is our standard. By this standard, all leaders or persons and revelations are to be tried. The devil brings a watered down version of the standard. He gives a little bit of scriptures and we think it's God. False prophets and false teachers water down the Word. The scriptures tell us to try every spirit. Jesus knew how to deal with the devil. He didn't use human words. Jesus used the Word of God. God's Word is the first say so and the last say so concerning the natural and spiritual life. Unlike Jesus, Adam and Eve failed the test. Instead of standing on the standard (commandment) God had given, Eve allowed the devil to cause her to doubt God. Adam chose to follow his wife and not God. Self can't handle the devil, no matter how educated we are. It is through the power of God that we are able to stand. We must study to show ourselves approved unto God by walking according to God's standards.
