The Comfort of God’s Word Part 3
7. Comfort of warning – keeps us from presumptuous sins
What are presumptuous sins and how do we avoid them?
Well the Second Epistle of Peter clearly exposes presumption on the part of evil doers and lists the types of sins that creep into people’s thinking and behaviour. It is worth a read to do a self-check and repent read!
But basically this scripture summarizes it:
2Pe 2:10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
And this is what one needs to guard against:
2Pe 2:3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words;
You need discernment that only comes from being immersed in the Word of Jesus Christ. It will cut between what is spirit, soul and body and help you evade the exploitation of presumptuous people.
In my experience in ministry, I have found that many disputes can be settled when presumption is explained to the other person. They will say things like: “O I never knew you felt that way,” or, “Well that was never my intention.”
However, protocol exists in the spiritual realm and when there is no understanding of mutual submission, presumptuous sins set in and defile relationships that have been built up long term. A simple acknowledgment of the presumption is the easiest way to resolve and reconcile. Repentance is not always just saying you’re sorry the other person feels a certain way about your behaviour! That is not a repentance. True repentance removes presumptuous sins!
Here the words of King David:
“Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression.”
8. Comfort of Rewards – helps us to please God – Hebrews 11:6
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
Believing that God exists gets you into the walk of faith, knowing and understanding that He desires to reward those who believe in Him is the next level. He wants to reward His children versus us trying to gain his favour. This helps us walk from a place of acceptance and gives us an expectation that no matter what we face, He will reward us in ways that we understand. And it is different strokes for different folks! Noah obeyed God and his household was saved and he became the heir of righteousness which is according to faith. Later Abraham entered that reward system the same way. That pathway is open for you and anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as Lord.
