Bible Question:
Dear prayon, good answer. What attitude should we have concerning these mysteries? What principles of stewardship apply? In Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: I believe we should have an attitude of awe, respect, thanksgiving, and joyous celebration. God's mysteries are His words to us. They are what our salvation is based on. We should care for all of His word deeply, holding it close to our hearts. We should do our best to see that it is not twisted or put down. We should guard what has been entrusted to us with our lives if need be. We should be ready to share at all times as He instructed us to do. We should be stewards over His word as He would do Himself. |
