We are not Christians at all unless we have fully surrendered to and “received Christ Jesus the Lord” (Col. 2:6). We would plead with you to ponder that statement diligently. Satan is deceiving many today by leading them to suppose that they are savingly trusting in “the finished work” of Christ while their hearts remain unchanged and self still rules their lives. Listen to God’s Word: “Salvation is far from the wicked; for they seek not thy statutes” (Ps. 119:155). Do you really seek His statutes”? Do you diligently search His Word to discover what He has commanded? “He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1 John 2:4). What could be plainer than that?
A man profits from the Word when:
1) he discovers God’s demands upon him
2) he discovers how entirely and how sinfully he has failed to meet God’s demands
3) he is taught therefrom that God, in His infinite grace, has fully provided for His people’s meeting His own demands
4) there is wrought in us a love for His commandments
5) our heart and will are yielded to all God’s commandments
6) our soul is moved to pray earnestly for enabling grace
