There are many people who claim to have insight and instruct on how we should live and act. It is a slippery slope leading to paths unknown following blindly on the words of someone else without testing it through scripture. It is not that what they are saying may be right or wrong but rather the reason why we are following the insight and instruction. How would our lives be different if we not only listened but then followed up by reading God’s word to see what He is saying to our heart. Our purpose is to live and act, by faith, to bring honor and glory to God. Our foundation must be in and through God’s word and then use it with discernment to test the insight/instruction of others.
Matthew 5:19
Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven18:4
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea
1 Corinthians 3:12
Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done
1 Peter 1:5
In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ
