The truths in God’s Word can be VERY
painful, but we still need them! The severity of the Bible can be
likened to rubbing alcohol on a cut or scrape. That feeling is very painful!
But we brace ourselves and put the alcohol on the wound anyway. Why? Because we
need it and we know we need it. The alcohol hurts, but it also purifies and
cleanses.
The Bible purifies and cleanses our spiritual lives. Many
things it tells us can hurt. No, many things it tells us WILL hurt. We may
realize that our lifestyle, ways of thinking, habits, or even our ideas about
God are wrong. But we need to study the
Bible anyway. Just like the alcohol it hurts, but deep down
Christians know we need Bible study and meditation often. Don’t ignore the
truths in God’s Word. Let them purify and cleanse the
infections of your spirit.
