TO BE FREE FROM BEING MISTAKEN AND IN ERRORS OF SCRIPTURAL CONTEXTS: YOU NEED TO GROW AND BE GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD IN THE GRACE!
“. . . 18 But GROW [spiritually mature] in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory [honor, majesty, splendor], both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified).
There’s the NEED to intentionally GROW graciously in a DIDACTIC order of SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE, if you MUST be FREE from SCRIPTURAL ERRORS and not being MISTAKENLY and TWISTED, to save you from that error and erroneous position, which leads to captivity and bondage.
“My people are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.
“Therefore my people are GONE into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.
TWO OF MANY EXAMPLES ARE THESE:
** The caution and charge of Jesus Christ to the Sadducees, while on His earthly ministry – He told the Sadducees of their being Scripturally wrong, twisted, distorted, and adulterated; more so, are in errors and being mistakenly in their analysis and conclusions of scriptural context and text matters; and all these analysis of the Sadducees, are simply because of their IGNORANCE [LACK OF KNOWLEDGE], making them a NEVER to be able to experience the knowledgeable POWER of God.
“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [MISTAKENLY], not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God . . .” Matthew 22:23-33.
** And also of Apostle Peter who consciously caution and charge those followers of his in their twist, errors and mistaken intent as regards Apostle Paul’s writings – which many have misconstrued in their UNDERSTANDING and INTERPRETATION.
“. . . 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory [honor, majesty, splendor], both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 [Amplified].
So, I commend you to God and to His enabling grace and His WORD, that’s able to build you up, set you free from scriptural context errors and to give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified [set apart], for God’s meaningful purpose and glory in Christ Jesus stead as written:
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.
Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be DILIGENT AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. IN WHICH THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE [who have fallen into error] TWIST and MISINTERPRET, JUST AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of unprincipled men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified).
“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.
“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are DULL OF HEARING. 12 For when for the time ye OUGHT to be TEACHERS, ye have need that one TEACH you again which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES of the oracles of God; and are become such as have NEED OF MILK, and NOT OF STRONG [MATURED] MEAT [SPIRITUAL FOOD]. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong [MATURE] MEAT [SPIRITUAL FOOD] belongeth to them that are of FULL AGE [MATURED], even those who by reason of use have their SENSES exercised to DISCERN both GOOD and EVIL” Hebrews 5:11-14/Emphasis Mine.
“Wherefore LAYING ASIDE all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 as NEWBORN BABES, DESIRE THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD, THAT YE MAY GROW THEREBY: 3 if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” 1 Peter 2:1-4.
“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the Holy Scriptures, which are ABLE to MAKE thee WISE unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT [MATURED, COMPLETE, WHOLE], throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.
“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth NOT TO BE ASHAMED, rightly DIVIDING [APPLYING] THE WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis Mine.
“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT [OVERLOOKED]; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31/Emphasis Mine.
