Luk_11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Blessed are they that HEAR the WORD of GOD and KEEP IT.
Not, Blessed are they that HEAR the Word of God. But, Blessed are they that HEAR the WORD of GOD and KEEP IT. We can't neglect the keep it part though many do. Again, that old 'not saved by works' pops up and people don't even try to keep the word of God because they fear they are trying to work their way to salvation. So how do they comprehend this verse- Blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it? What does it mean to keep the word of God?
'Keep' - Strong's- Probably from G5443 through the idea of isolation; to watch that is be on guard (literally or figuratively); by implication to preserve. obey
Preserve the Word of God.
Obey the Word of God.
Watch the Word of God.
Other Bible translations use the 'obey' word rather than 'keep'.
Blessed are they that HEAR the WORD of GOD and OBEY IT.
Obey the Word of God.
If we are to obey the Word of God then that means FOLLOWING the Word of God. To follow the Word of God, to obey the Word of God means actively comprehending the life that our God wants us to live. Our Savior doesn't leave us hanging, wondering what we're supposed to do once we accept Him. He tells us what is expected of us and He does so over and over again. We have to live our Spiritual life as a REALITY, not something outside of ourselves. We belong to God, we are HIS, He wants to live in us, His will must be done in us. If we actively, willfully disobey His Word, then we are NOT keeping His Word.
People go to church all the time and hear the Word of God yet that's all they do, they hear it and do not keep it. It's not something that is REAL to them.
We are to live by faith- and the Bible tells us this:
Rom_10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
FAITH comes by HEARING!
And HEARING by the WORD OF GOD!
You want more faith then HEAR the WORD of GOD.
Hear the Word of God and KEEP it!
1Jn_2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
You want to overcome the WICKED ONE- then the WORD of GOD has to ABIDE in YOU!
The Word of God can abide in You if KEEP the Word of God.
Rev_19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The WORD of GOD. God has revealed Himself to us in His Word- over and over again and in many ways He reveals Himself to us, we must hear and we must obey.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Word of GOD - POWERFUL WORD of GOD.
Heb 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
NO one can hide from God, not a single person in existence.
Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
We have HOPE in our SAVIOR- our GREAT HIGH PRIEST, our Mediator with GOD the Father.
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
HE knows what it is like to be US. He knows because He became us and suffered all we can suffer in being tempted to sin, and HE SINNED NOT!
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
We need to go BOLDLY to the THRONE of GRACE so we can OBTAIN the MERCY we need! And it is THERE at the THRONE of GRACE that we will find GRACE to help us when we are in NEED.
Our lives must be lived with the THRONE of GRACE being a REALITY to us!!!!!!!
People will often go to a church building because they feel closer to God there. They are trying to bridge that gap between the reality of the flesh and the reality of the spiritual. Yet there comes a danger to those who need to be in a church building to have their spiritual reality manifested. We don't live in church buildings and we need to have access to the 'THRONE of GRACE' always, not just once or twice a week. We need to have a very real spiritual reality that exists for us in our lives no matter where we are. WE can't regulate our spiritual life to a time or a place when we are supposed to be 'Praying Always'. To pray always we have to have God in all we do in a very real way. How do we suppose we'd ever be happy in heaven with our Savior if we aren't happy with Him here and now as a reality in our lives?
Please Lord, please bless us as we Hear Your WORD and KEEP it. Help us, by Your power may we do this, may we hear and keep Your Word. Please Lord be a REALITY to us here and now in ALL we do. Please LORD let us have the FAITH we need through Your Word.
ALL in YOUR AMAZING LOVE!
Forgive us Lord!
Save us LORD from the evil one and all his influences upon us and others, all through Your righteousness, Your power, Your grace and mercy!
In Your love!
Amen.
