2 Timothy 3:16-17 AMPC Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
God gives us HIS NATURE and HIS WORD so as to EQUIP us to DO GOOD WORKS and BEAR FRUITS here on earth. The believer should understand this and not use GRACE to live anyhow. This is why the Word Of God Teaches, Reproofs, Corrects, and Instructs us all the time – to shape us up to live right and bear good fruits.
The Righteousness of God in you is A SEED which is supposed to produce FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. If you have the LIFE of God in you, it must show in your LIVING. If it’s not showing, then you are unfruitful and this will affect you in ETERNITY.
So when you read Titus 3:14 the Bible says,
“And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, THAT THEY MAY NOT BE UNFRUITFUL.”
Are you the Righteousness of God in Christ? Then WHERE ARE YOUR FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS? Have you the life of God in you? Then don’t let it be merely a positive confession – show it in how you live. ALWAYS BE MINDED OF THIS, Beloved, BECAUSE YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE HERE.
Receive the ENDURING GRACE AND STRENGTH of God to bear the right kinds of fruits all the days of your life. Amen!
GRACEFUL MORNING
