God's Word Given To Us!

"We also have the prophetic word made more sure, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." (2 Peter 1:19-21)
As I write this post, I want to say how thankful I am for the Word Of God. The Old Testament prophesied concerning the coming of Jesus into this world. And  the New Testament Gospel revealed right down to the nail, how Jesus fulfilled those prophecies. And His second coming is as sure as can be, because of the faithfulness of the Old and New Testaments linking together to reveal the truth concerning it. The Holy Spirit is the one who brought this all together. As Peter writes, it has never been, that prophecy was given by private interpretation. It was given by God, through His Holy Spirit. I believe that today, we have God's final revealed truth in our hands today. Jesus said in Revelation 22:18-19 "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book; If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." God has spoken. Not only in the book of Revelation, but from the whole written Word. And if you take the Bible to explain the Bible, it will be far better than trying to have the Bible explained through the wisdom of man. We are never to try to change, twist, or shape the truth to fit our desires. We are to take the finished revealed truth of Scripture, and line our lives up to it. And that is what we will try to do through The Christian Journeyman. May God help us to do just that! GP
