"See...The Word of God"

"O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah." (Jeremiah 2:31, ASV)

Yes, you read it correctly, "
see...the word of God."  The word translated by some as, "consider," or, "heed," is the Hebrew word for, "see."  When we hear and "see...the word of God," it is incumbent upon us to worship and obey.  I have asserted many times that The Word of God is not primarily print on a page, but "living and active (powerful), and sharper than any two-edged sword."  This is the One Whom John saw in the Revelation--- "....And out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.  AND WHEN I SAW HIM, I FELL AT HIS FEET AS DEAD."

Any theology which is just "made up," is false doctrine.  I did an extensive paper in seminary on the "Word of God Theology."  The source was the "
God-Breathed" Word, and substantiated by such great early Church Fathers as Ignatius and Irenaeus. While I was challenged greatly by the professor and fellow students, the professor admitted to its historic veracity.  But this morning I have had another confirmation of a great man of the Church concerning my Word of God
theology.  As it "happened," I have been reading a book entitled,
The Complete Works of Oswald Chambers.  Listen to this: "The only way the words of God can be understood is by contact with the Word of God.  The connection between our Lord Himself, who is the Word, and His spoken words is so close that to divorce them is fatal."  I am indeed in good company!

"....So close that to divorce them is fatal"---- what a powerful warning to the twenty-first century Church.  The temptation faces you and me every day to "
neglect so great a salvation."  Don't do it.  The "so great a salvation" which is ours is only in Jesus Christ and His Words.  If you attempt to bolster that salvation by any other means, be it ever so "spiritual," you are making a "fatal" mistake.  Embrace Jesus.  Embrace His Words.  The literal translation of Moses' warning and encouragement to the Jews in Deuteronomy 32:47 is, "For He is not a vain word for you; because He [is] alive, strong, can cause you to live!!"

Father, in Jesus' Name, "
I have an answer for those who taunt and reproach me, for I lean on, rely on, and trust in Your word."  Amen.
