Stirred in the Inner Life by the Word By: Andrew Murray I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: fist for the Jew, then for the Gentile. Romans 1:16 The true aim of education, study, reading, is to be found, not in what is brought into us, but in what is brought out of ourselves by the awakening into active exercise of our inward power. This is as true of the study of the Bible as of any other study. God’s Word works its true blessing only when the trust it brings to us has stirred the inner life, and reproduced itself in resolve, trust, love or adoration. When the heart has received the Word through the mind, and has had its spiritual powers called out and exercised on it, the Word is no longer void, but has done that whereunto God has sent. It has become part of our life, and strengthened us for the new purpose and effort. A Spiritual Journey Life Renewal Devotional ã1992 by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved. "God’s Word works its true blessing only when the trust it brings to us has stirred the inner life, and reproduced itself in resolve, trust, love or adoration." Ken, do you see this happening in your posts? What kind of response are you eliciting from others? "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear." Eph 4:29 Again, I ask that you be EDIFYING - in your judgment of my faith, where was Scripture for my correction, instruction or encouragement? mommapbs |

But you are assuming my attitude is wrong. It isn't. I guard what comes from me, that it be righteousness. BUT I haven't arrived. My discernment is still under construction. For that I appologize, especially to you. I've re-read many of your inquiries and have seen my lack in responding to you. Please forgive me. And thanks for the kind rebute. Ken Murray is right on with what He states to be the need of everyone seeking to "become" other than "just saved" good living folk hoping their re-dedicator won't give out on them every Sunday. |

Thank you Ken! None of us are "complete in Christ" yet and thankfully, it is GOD who is at work IN us to conform us to the image of His Son - may each of us pursue those things which will make His job less difficult! mommapbs |

Thank you MOM, When you wrote "complete in Christ" the below came to mind. Examine the two verses and compare with salvation. I mean if I say we are "saved to be saved" you'd think I'm weird. But yet Paul says: Col. 1:28 (KJV) [Christ] Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Col. 2:10 (KJV) And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. We are indeed saved by the Blood of the Lamb..But unto what NOW as we wait for the redemption of our bodies? |

Ken, I hear what you are saying "we are saved to be saved" BUT this is a concept that I just can't reconcile. The operative word that you have shared is "may" - I believe that this little word recognizes the sovereignty of God. God IS sovereign - He is Lord no matter what I believe. I trust Him with my soul as I trust Him with yours and those who have yet to know Him. mommapbs |

[The operative word that you have shared is "may" - I believe that this little word recognizes the sovereignty of God.] Our choice, MOM....Freewill...God's Grace is NOT irresistable. If it was we'd be robot's, wouldn't we? Our love to Him wouldn't be love. We chose Him because we saw His love. Then our broken spirit was made new. Many don't choose Him though He died for them, also. "Blessed are they....who hunger and He already knows who is hungering and "will not leave them confortless". Having said all this takes nothing away from the sovereignty of God. His foreknowledge is often looked at as predestination requirying no action on our part. That's not so. He just always knows how we will choose because He sees our whole life. I thank Him that He saw I would choose Him because the way He has brought me, I now see His object. I know it is more than redemption He has in His eternal plan. |
