When we filter everything through past hurts, rejections, and - TopicsExpress



          

When we filter everything through past hurts, rejections, and experiences, we find it impossible to believe God. We cannot believe He means what He says. We doubt His goodness and faith- fulness since we judge Him by the standards set by man in our lives. But God is not a man! He cannot lie (Num. 23:19). His ways are not like ours, and His thoughts are not ours (Isa. 55:8–9). Offended people will be able to find Scripture passages to back their position, but it is not the correct division of God’s Word. The knowledge of God’s Word without love is a destruc- tive force because it puffs us up with pride and legalism (1 Cor. 8:1–3). This causes us to justify ourselves rather than repent of the unforgiveness. This creates an atmosphere in which we can be deceived, because knowledge without the love of God will lead to deception.
