2 Samuel 1:1-2:11, John 12:20-50, Psalms 118:19-29, Proverbs 15:27-28
What God said to me – Everybody has an opinion whether it is about politics or religion or sports or how to raise kids – anything you can think of or say – somebody else will have an opinion about it. The thing is, opinions are only as good as what you are basing them on so if you have bad information or certain biases, your opinion is flawed. When My Son, Jesus, told the Jews He had to be lifted up, they argued that He couldn’t be the Christ because the Christ would remain forever. So, if He was going to be crucified, He couldn’t be the Christ. Their opinion was flawed because they based it on part of My word and not on My entire counsel. You need to diligently study My entire word, so you have an understanding of doctrine in context. Entire denominations have been built on partial truths taken out of context of My word as a whole. When Jesus met the two men on the road to Emmaus after His resurrection, He began with Moses and went through the Prophets to explain the things concerning Himself – He used all of My word to teach the truth and how it fit together. If you want to be a workman who can accurately handle the Word of truth, you must diligently study it all.
