The second Adam Jesus, overcame where the first Adam failed. When you study
your Bible, understand as a Christian that Jesus is not only the Saviour of man but
also came to show how man is expected to live if his life will ever please God.
The fact that you are a Christian doesn’t mean that how you act and behave pleases
God. The Bible says,
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace.... Romans 8:6KJV”
Paul writes to Christians admonishing them not to be carnally minded because that
will lead to death. Please, understand that this was not said to unbelievers but to
Christians. Even though you are a Christian or a Pastor if you go on being carnally
minded, it will lead to death. He goes on to give you the reason for that. He says,
“ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the
law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot
please God...Romans 8:7-8KJV”
The carnal mind can never please God. Don’t assume you will if carnally minded.
The Bible says you can never. You can be crying, worshiping, quoting a lot of
Scriptures but if carnally or fleshly minded, it’s a complete waste of time. You cant
please God.
Why? The carnal mind is not subject to the Law of God. The Law of God is the
Word of God and the carnal mind cannot humble himself to God’s Word. God
calls such people as proud. As a Christian you have to understand how God sees
things. You can be a Pastor, always quoting Scriptures but still proud in the eyes of God. Your degree of humility is measured by the level to which you have subjected
yourself to the Word of God, against all odds and the oppositions of the flesh and
the senses.
This is why God was so much pleased with Jesus. No wonder He Jesus was the
Word in flesh. No matter what Jesus saw, heard or felt, He was always going to go
with “it is written”. He was always going to go with the Word. This is wisdom. He
wasn’t going to go with I heard, I saw, that was that other Pastor’s experience. Such
are not wisdom. Wisdom will ask, “What is written?”
Who are you to quote other peoples experiences when God has spoken? So do their
experiences mean that God lied? Truth is not based on experiences but God’s
Word.
In the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve didn’t stick to what God has said but
moved into their senses and feelings, they fell. It was God’s Word against that
beautiful fruit they could behold. Sadly, they chose the latter. Some Christians too
are like that. When you quote them God’s Word, instead of them to consider that
Word, they will rather quote back to you their own experiences or the experiences
of another man whom they have held in high esteem. This also is not Wisdom.
Why put man above God?
Jesus in His temptation by satan will always respond, “It is written”.
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God...Matthew 4:4KJV”
Jesus here is saying that man was created to live by every Word that God has
spoken or speaks. You don’t pick and choose.
Even in a situation that it was very difficult for the sensual and carnal Jews to agree,
He Jesus will not backdown on what was written.
“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he
called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot
be broken.... John10: 34-35KJV”
The Master says that what is written is written, no contrary experience breaks the
Scripture. The Scripture cannot be broken.
