Pastor's Pen
You may be wrong
03/07/2010
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.” Proverbs 21:2
Are you sure you are right? What if you are wrong about your salvation, about your church, your Christian service, your relationship with others, or even about yourself? Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If knowing the Lord Jesus Christ does not change your ways, cause you to repudiate error, embrace biblical truth, and revolutionize your life, then are you SURE that you know HIM!?
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 14:12).
The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 16:18: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter (petros), and upon this rock (petra) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Hell has obviously prevailed against the Roman church, but not against the institution of the Lord’s Church. To what church do you belong? Why would one prefer Luther’s, Wesley’s, Campbell’s or Calvin’s church over the Lord’s Church?
Jesus said, “…Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). Do you follow and serve the Lord? In order to follow Christ, we must deny ourselves and take up His cross (Matthew 16:24). Yet, most self-serving Christians imagine they serve the Lord because they go to a church once a week.
The Lord told us to love one another (John 15:17) and, when it comes to repeated offenses, we are to forgive one another seven times seventy (Matthew 18:21-22).
When we pass final judgment on a fellow Christian, are we confident that our assessment is accurate? Are you sure!? Maybe you are wrong. Do you know their heart – is God still working on them? And what about the beam that is in your own eye?
In Matthew 15:16-20, Jesus said, “Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand…” And He delineated on how evil the human heart is.
Listen, you cannot trust your heart. God has given you a safe guide called the Holy Bible, and a stiff warning to walk humbly before God. Be careful about thinking you are always right. Examine yourself, dear Christian (2 Corinthians 13:5).
