Will the LORD not surely do what He has said? – 1

Scripture is what He has said

If you have been following this summer’s series of Doctrinal posts on talkofJESUS.COM you have just read about Sola Scripture, that is: Only Scripture. And IF you believe ‘what is written’ then you know that both blessings and curses are conditional.

Scripture also speaks for the LORD! God commands. We must listen and obey.

Jesus COMMANDS His followers and they encourage us in the Gospel what WE must do. THEREFORE Christians must believe that JESUS will do what HE has said.

Although this scripture was not part of many which could have been a part of the theme of this 3-part series, it is its theme:

Then the Spirit of God covered Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest like clothing; and he stood above the people and said to them,

“This is what God has said,

‘Why do you break the commandments of the LORD and do not prosper? Because you have abandoned the LORD, He has also abandoned you.’”

2 Chronicles 24:20 NASB20

• God is faithful. So why would you abandon your Scripture faith?

A Commandment of Scripture worth repeating

Earlier this year I linked this post to my series on the Gospel of John, but in case you missed it this post from seven years ago should command your attention. For after all, Jesus IS GOD and Scripture is God’s word.
