1 | The Benefits of Knowing God's Word | Ps 119:1 | prazn | 85814 | ||
Psalm 119 identifies the benefits of reading (hearing), knowing and doing the Word of God. Below are a few of the benefits for those believers who study the Word of God: 1)We will be blameless (complete, having integrity) – vs. 1. 2)We will not do unrighteousness – vs. 3. 3)We will not keep our way pure (undefiled by the ways of the world or of the flesh) – vs. 9. This is because God’s Word is pure – vs. 40. 4)We will not be ashamed – vs. 6. 5)We will be kept from sinning – vs. 11. 6)We will have an answer for those who persecute us – vs. 42. 7)We will walk in liberty (a broad place) – vs. 45. 8)We will have hope – vs. 49. 9)We will be revived (in our spirit) – vs. 50 and vs. 59. 10)The wicked will not prevail over us – vs. 61. 11)We will be an encouragement to other believers – vs. 74. 12)We will be comforted – vs. 76. 13)We will be saved out of our distresses – vs. 81. 14)We will be kept (preserved) from perishing – vs. 92. 15)We will not be destroyed by the wicked – vs. 95. 16)We will be wiser than our enemies – vs. 98. 17)We will have greater insight than “flesh and blood” teachers – vs. 99. 18)We will know the ways that are evil – vs. 101. 19)We will be taught by the Lord – vs. 102. 20)We will have understanding to discern false ways – vs. 104 and vs. 130, because God’s words are truth – vs. 140. 21)We will not stumble because God’s words will light our path – vs. 105 and vs. 164. 22)We will be established in our walk with the Lord – vs. 133. 23)We will not be overcome by iniquity – vs. 133. 24)We will not do what is wicked – vs. 150. 25)We will know what is True – vs. 163. 26)We will have great peace – vs. 165. 27)We will be helped by the Lord – vs. 173.

Prazn, I encourage you to keep your vigilence and your diligence. Your postings are a relief from the usual. Praise God in the name of Jesus! This psalm is a favorite partially because it does delineate the blessings given by the word of God. Along with reading, knowing, and doing, we must also accept these things. Do you see a parallel between this psalm and discipleship to Jesus Christ? |

Thanks for the encouragement, Popdzl. It is not possible to follow Christ (the Word made flesh) and not study the Bible, because Jesus says: John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. John 15:8 "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. John 15:9 "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. John 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. Stay blessed! |

Prazn, You have once again referenced another piece of scripture which speaks to me. This scripture is the plumbline which I use to determine if I am leaning to the right or to the left. Unfortunately, I see that many people study the Word and use it to support the ideals with wich they have been indoctrinated or to justify their lifestyles instead of studying in order to get a more clarified revelation of the truth. I encourage you to read Isaiah and take note of the character of the Lord's servant (take particular note of chapters 42 and 53). I believe that God wants us to adopt these traits as we abide in Jesus. |

Amen! Phil 3:7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Phil 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, Phil 3:9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, Phil 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; Phil 3:11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Phil 3:12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Phil 3:13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. God bless you! prazn |
