You
don't Know the Word of God if You Don't Know JESUS
Well, praise Jesus
today everyone. No Christian knows the Word of God unless they truly have a
relationship with Jesus Christ. Now I know evangelicals, one of the things that
they pride themselves is knowing the Bible, backing their beliefs on the Bible.
They love talking about being biblical, they love Bible study, and they always
call the Bible the more sure revelation, the more sure Word of God. They call
it the infallible Word of God. Now where they are deceived is in making the
Bible their idol. They wouldn't say that the Bible is God, although some of
them do. But they really think that the Bible itself is the infallible Word of
God, that every single verse in the Bible came directly from God, that none of
it could possibly be altered by men or messed up in any way. And they're
convinced that the more sure Word of God is the Bible, not Jesus Christ. They
don't put an emphasis on Jesus, but they put an emphasis on the Bible itself.
Why is that? In
reality, the reason why they do that is because they fear you or anyone else
really getting to have a revelation from Jesus, because it might conflict with
their view of the scripture. In other words, if you hear from Jesus that you
really have to repent of your sin, and their view from the Bible is that you
can continually sin because God just forgives you, because of course they
believe in hyper-grace, then that would conflict with their belief system and
it would throw them off. So instead of believing that Jesus Himself is the
final authority, the infallible one, they set up the Bible as the final
authority.
I had this dream last
night, and in my dream I saw a pastor of a huge church, and this church on the
outside looked pretty good. But the closer that you got to the church, you
realized the church was missing large portions of the roof. When I went on the
inside of the church, it was not insulated, it was missing insulation, so the
cold from outside was getting in. It was not completed on the underside of the
roof. Rain and stuff could get through. They had not founded themselves on the
truth of God, nor were they covered with the protection of the Holy Spirit,
because they built all their principles on lies.
And many Christians
are the sorts of Christians that have built all their ideas and all their
principles of the Bible, but they have not come to the knowledge of Jesus
Christ. Now I know what scriptures Christians pull out, especially these
fundamental Christians that say the Bible itself is the infallible Word of God,
although they don't know which version is the infallible Word of God. But they
really like to talk about that Hebrews chapter 4 that talks about the word, but
we'll get to that in just a minute. I want to read to you Revelation chapter 19
that speaks about the Word of God and Jesus' name. And so let's listen to this,
and then let's read that Hebrews verse. I'm going to start in Revelation
chapter 19 verse 11. 11Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And
He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges
and makes war. (Obviously we're talking about Jesus, the righteous judge here.)
12His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had
a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13He was clothed with a robe
dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies in
heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the
nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the
winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And He has on His robe
and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.
Guys, this is no other
than Jesus Christ. It can't possibly be our Bibles. It can't possibly be just
Michael or an archangel. This is Jesus Christ Himself, and His name is the Word
of God. He is the infallible one. Now let's compare this symbolism and who
Jesus Christ is to who the Christians say is the Bible. I'm speaking
fundamental evangelical Christians from Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12. Now
remember that Jesus Christ from this verse in Revelation, His name is called
the Word of God. Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword in which He will strike
the nations. So remember that symbolism when we read Hebrews chapter 4, I'm
starting in verse 11. 11Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest
anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12For the Word of
God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even
to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13And there is no creature
hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to
whom we must give account.
Now take in the
symbolism that we just read in Revelation about Jesus Christ being the Word of
God, about Jesus being the sword. Who do you think Hebrews is speaking of when
it speaks about he, nothing is hidden in His sight, all must give an account to
Him and speaking about this Word of God and this two edge sword, does all the
symbolism point to our Bibles being the infallible Word of God, or does it
point to Jesus Christ being the infallible Word of God?
Now it is very sad
that the majority of evangelical Christians, which only make up now like 3% of
the United States I think, so a very small percentage, I think only like 50 or
60% of people now in the US even consider themselves Christians at all. But out
of this minority of people that claim to be evangelical, which means they
believe in evangelism, they believe in the Bible, they believe in Jesus that He
died on the cross, He resurrected, He atoned for our sins, they are supposed to
believe all that. But out of that small percentage of Christians that even
believe in the Bible, they have taken the Bible and made it their idol, instead
of coming to Jesus Christ and recognizing Him as the Word of God and the double-edged
sword and the one who nothing is hidden in His sight and the one who we all
must give an account to, they've literally taken Jesus, they've thrown Him out
for what they call is their infallible Word of God, their more sure Word of God.
Do you see what they have done? They have despised the truth of Jesus, they
have despised that He is alive, we just read in Hebrews chapter 4 that the Word
of God is alive, it is living and powerful, and they apply this to their
scriptures. This is a damnable thing to do. They have set up a huge idol, they
bow down and worship the Bible and they revere the scriptures and they revere
the prophets as if they would not have partaken in the murder of innocent blood
when they lived during the time of the prophets. They act as though they
wouldn't have murdered Jesus Christ, they act as though they wouldn't have been
on the side of the Pharisees. Do you see what they are doing? We need to be
careful not to take part in the leaven of their hypocrisy.
Are we elevating the
Bible as God, as the evangelical world, as the fundamentalist Christians across
America, or have we really come into a relationship with the living Word of God,
the one who is infallible, meaning perfect, without spot or without blemish? Do
we really put our faith and our trust in Jesus Christ or do we put it in our
Bibles?
Guys, the Bible is
testifying about Jesus Christ. All these men that recorded the Bible, they were
men just like you and me, but they testified about Jesus Christ. Jesus is the
Son of Man and He is the Son of God and all power in heaven and on earth has
been given to Him. He is the infallible one and He is perfect. He has the power
to open heaven for you or shut you out. He has the power to send you to hell.
The Bible doesn't have that power. The Bible is to bring you, to open your eyes
to the truth. If you read the Bible asking Jesus to help you, He will help you
see the truth. But if you become like these Christians that call the Bible the
infallible Word of God or more sure salvation, then you're rejecting what Jesus
Christ will do in your life, which is open your eyes to the truth.
Now in this dream that
I had last night, I saw this church start to catch fire. And the Christian
churches of today, they're going to go through the fire. And nothing will be
left of most of these Christian organizations because they built with wood, hay
and stubble. They were not founded on the cornerstone. They weren't built on
the rock of Jesus Christ. They built with wood, hay and stubble. So when they
go through the refining fire, all of them is going to be burnt up. If you make
all your principles, thinking all these principles are true that you got out of
the Bible, but you never learned to hear Jesus's voice, you don't have a prayer
life, you have never put Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your own life, then
what do you think is going to happen when you try to enter into everlasting
life? What's going to happen when you die and God says to you, why should I let
you in? What's your response going to be? Is it going to be, well, I knew the
Bible. I memorized John 3.16, God. I knew the plan of salvation because I
learned the Hebrew roots of words. I knew the Hebrew's road. I knew what Jesus
spoke. I memorized that scripture in Sunday school. Do you think that God is
going to allow you into His holy and perfect kingdom because you knew things
about the Bible like how Catholics do and these evangelical Protestants? Of
course not. His requirement is holiness and that is the one requirement God
has, holiness. And unless you put your faith in Jesus Christ, unless you really
repent and let Him wash clean your sins, you're not going to enter His kingdom.
Too many Christians
are playing the hypocrite. They think that they're better than others. They
think they're entitled to get into heaven because they know the Bible. And
that's why they love going around calling the scripture the infallible Word of
God. They love the Bible, but they hate Jesus Christ. Don't be a part of their
hypocrisy. Be separate. Keep yourself unstained from their pollution. Get to
know Jesus, love Him, adore Him, worship Him. Seek revelation from Him and He
will lead you and He will guide you in the truth. But have no part with the
hypocrite Christian. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
