Bible Question: What is so hard about verse that we could not obey I just finished March posting of verse wish i had been there but maybe next time. Thanks Jim |
Bible Answer: Looking at Colossians 3:17, we must do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus. Ryrie's Study Bible comments, "'in the name': Representing Him with His approval.".. So in all things, we must act as if we are representatives of the kingdom of God. The MacArthur Study Bible (NKJV) comments, "This simply means to act consistently with who He is and what He wants (see 1 Cor. 10:31)." In relation to trusting and obeying, we must trust Him with all the areas of our lives, and we must obey His divine direction in our lives. So by committing every act, word or deed in accordance with His will, we will be obeying His direction in our lives. And we must learn to trust in Him. Jim, this is the way that I would incorporate "trust and obey" into Colossians 3:17.. -Nolan |
