“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering [sexual carelessness] and wantonness [shamelessness], not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof” (Romans 13:11-14 KJV).
Only by God’s grace, “333 Words of Grace” celebrates its 4,700th devotional!
Dear saints and readers, over the course of these last 4,700 days, we have striven to provide you with clear and concise daily studies from the King James Bible rightly divided. We trust that they have enabled you to either learn how to be saved from your sins by trusting Jesus Christ’s finished crosswork as sufficient payment for your sins, or come to the knowledge of the truth (dispensational Bible study) (1 Timothy 2:4).
We need to grow up in the Holy Scriptures—eliminating the childish thinking, throwing away our spiritual baby bottles and bibs and diapers. Indeed, we ought to walk by faith as spiritually mature sons of God who can do the work of the ministry. Denominations are intended to produce robots, people who do not really think for themselves but blindly follow “scholars” and participate in programs and “worship” sessions. As today’s Scripture states, it is “high time”—almost too late to act—we wake up from our spiritual lethargy/juvenility and reach the point of spiritual maturity. Whether philosophy, traditions of men, lasciviousness, asceticism, “scholarship,” or some other sin of the flesh or sin of the spirit, the Church the Body of Christ has wasted nearly 2,000 years on all kinds of “dead ends.” We ought to wake up and grow up!
Having come quite far in this ministry project, we have the renewed mind of Romans 12:1,2 and thus can function as grace believers—people who not only talk about “grace” but exhibit it in their thoughts and actions. Please be sure to share with others what you have learned, that they can enjoy grace living too.
Onward, dear saints, to devotional #4800!
