 John 15:1-8

       1.  I Must Accept its Authority.

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” Matthew 7:24 (CSB)

False Foundations…

• Popular Culture

“You must not follow a crowd in wrongdoing…” Exodus 23:2a (CSB)

• Emotion

“In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.” Judges 21:25 (NLT)

      2.   I Must Meditate on its Truth.

"How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers! Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 (CSB)

    3.   I Must Apply it to My Life.

“The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and yet doesn’t keep His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God is made complete. This is how we know we are in Him.” I John 2:4-5 (CSB)

 

“For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. No creature is hidden from him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.” Hebrews 4:12-13 (CSB)
