Galatians 1:11-12- 11 I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
So very true. The more one studies God’s Word the more non-human it is. Man does not think like God on his own at all. Only the Spirit of God allows man to begin to think the way he was made to think.
That’s why today you see such a falling away from God’s Word in the actions of those around the earth. It doesn’t come natural to think and live the way God wants us to. It’s contrary to our sinful nature.
An analogy that comes to mind that I will use is my own eating.
I love to eat. My natural instinct is if a little tastes good then more is better. However, is that correct?
No. Almost everyone anymore knows that if you overeat or eat the wrong things that it is bad for you. Diabetes can set in or heart failure. You don’t feel very good and yet the natural thing for those who love to eat and can’t get a grip of it is to say that is just the way I am. I can’t go about it any other way.
That natural thinking is wrong. There is plenty of literature that spells out ones health fate if they are not willing to read those words and put them in their thinking and practice. The truth is there for those who are willing to accept it.
So what do we do? We have to make a choice. Will I choose my own way that seems right to me or will I choose God’s way. Because just like research into healthy eating makes all the sense in the world, reading God’s Word and studying it makes you realize it came from God.
Until someone seeks God though, they are blinded on understanding the Word. The message isn’t hard, it’s actually very easy. It’s just written in code and God is the decoder through the Holy Spirit. The Bible to a non-believer is somebody else’s mail. If they get saved all the sudden it clicks and it becomes their mail.
The Word of God is not man-made and when you realize that God predicts the future in prophecy it isn’t even written in the same dimension. God’s Word is the Word of life. We need to cherish it like it is.
