Political correctness has become a hot topic over the past few years. We are so afraid of expressing God's truth in love and kindness that it's difficult to say anything these days without offending someone.
It made me think about what I know of God's Word. The truth of it. The fact that it is sufficient to hold it's own. It is enough just as it is because it is pure and perfect just as He gave it.
Debt. 4:2 says we should not add to nor take from God's Word, what He commands. If it is sufficient and perfect, why do so many try to honey coat it by adding or removing things to make it more pleasing to others in hopes they will desire to follow it. Doing this only dilutes God's character and the truth.
If it is sufficient and perfect, why do we make it so sour and burdensome to another that they feel hopeless in living up to God's standards? Burdensome mandates are added in attempt to making people better when all they need is Jesus. Salvation seems unattainable and therefore people want nothing to do with the free gift it really is.
Sweet and sour gospel is what I call it. But the truth is that it is neither. It is perfect, pure and sufficient just as God gave it out.
I am grateful for His true and perfect Word. Do you add to or take from His perfect Word? If so, will you trust Him in that what He has given is sufficient for your salvation and that of others? Will you share His Word just as it is, trusting Him to draw others to Himself?
