Modern Christianity is largely based on application of the Bible Interpretation of the Scriptures. The authority of those that preach is their knowledge of the Bible and not Jesus Christ, because the majority of them do not know Jesus. They have a religion without Jesus Christ. They don't even KNOW that Jesus is not part of their religion. Because they've got a Bible, They are not trusting in the Holy Spirit, they don't need the Holy Spirit. They can carry on their religion without the Holy Spirit, because you won't even see that the Holy Spirit is not there. They've got the Book. That is a dead religion, friends, that is a theoretical religion.
The result of that religion is that many well-meaning pious Christians will stand before Jesus Christ one day, and He will say to them: “Go away from Me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity, your workers of unrighteousness.” They will say: “Lord, but we read the Bible, we preached the Bible, we read Your Words, and we told the people about Your Words.” and Jesus will say to them “I never knew you”, because they never knew Him, they never listened to Him. They were not tuned in to Him.
Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. He did not send us books. Our authority is not Books. Our authority is the Holy Spirit of God. It was not some book, that gave Peter the authority when Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit. It was REVELATION of the HOLY SPIRIT and the judgment of God on those two people that lied to the Spirit, that confirmed Peter. It was not application of the Scriptures by which Peter said to the lame man: ”Silver and gold have I none, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, stand up and walk.” It was the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
There is no way that you can be justified through your interpretation of Scripture by reading the Scripture and evaluating yourself according to the Scripture, because many people justify themselves by quoting Scriptures. There is One who Justifies and that is the Holy Spirit of God. There is One who convicts of sin and righteousness and judgment and that is the HOLY SPIRIT. There is only One who can confirm to you, whether He is satisfied with you and that is the Holy Spirit of God.
Am I saying that the Scriptures are not good? No, I am not saying that. What I am saying, dear friend, is that WITHOUT JESUS, WITHOUT the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, You cannot have salvation. You cannot be justified. You need the confirmation of the Holy Spirit. The only way that you can know how you stand with Jesus is through confirmation of His Spirit. That is why He sent the Spirit to guide us into ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. He didn't say: "Go evaluate the Scriptures and then justify yourself against that". Then you just become another scribe and a pharisee with a religion that is devoid of Jesus Christ. You need the Holy Spirit, dear friend. You need to get down on your knees, and cry out to Jesus, and say:"Lord, show me, show me whether You are pleased with me. Lord, confirm to me, I do not want to hear from anybody else. I want to hear from Thee, because Lord, You are my GOD. I am not trusting in myself. I am not trusting in other people, but I am trusting in You, Lord Jesus, because I follow You, Lord. I want to know You more, Lord, I want to know Your voice, I want to follow You every day of my life!"
Many Christians don't spend half an hour with Jesus in a day. They don't need Him, they got a Bible and they think they don't need Jesus. Dear friend, He will say to you one day: “Go away, I never knew you” . Because you didn't get confirmation from Him. You didn't seek Him until you found Him. You got to cry out to Him with all your heart, you got to LABOR IN PRAYER, say:" Lord, I need You, Lord, confirm to me, search me, see if there is anything in me that is wrong and please, Lord, show me, so that I can correct it, so that I can be pleasing in Thy sight.”
The Book can not take the place of the Holy Spirit of God. Dear friend, you will not find the Way without the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus Christ is the Way and the Truth and the Life, and He sent you the Holy Spirit to GUIDE you. If you do not LISTEN, you will not live. You need to go on your knees and seek Jesus with all your heart until you find Him, Until He is REAL to you and until He confirms to you that He is satisfied with you. Don't trust another man. Don't trust your insight of the Scriptures. Get to KNOW JESUS, my friend, before He one day says to you also: “Go away, I never knew you. You never counseled Me. You never spoke to Me. You had no relationship with Me”. Get your confirmation from the Holy Spirit, dear friend. May Jesus bless you.
