My Days with Christ Jesus

Day 191

July 10
"But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye." -Acts 4:19

We ought to listen to God.

There are so many reasons why we ought to listen to God. It can be summed up with these 2 reasons.
One. We were created thru Him.
Two. We were created for Him.

"For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him." -Colossians 1:16

One. Created thru Him.
In Genesis 1:26, man is created in the image and likeness of God.
"All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made." -John 1:3
Nothing has ever existed in this world without God.
Two. Created for Him.
To sum up our purpose: We are created for God's greater glory. We existed to please God. 
Nothing has ever existed without a purpose. We all have a purpose and that said purpose, we can only discover when we seek God. Our purpose is in Christ Jesus.

With that being said, if there's anyone whom we need to listen to its no other than God Himself. The world's words mean nothing because of its leader, the devil is the chief commander of this world and so whatever the world says, it centers into man and what is good for man... that is a trick, life is not about you or the world... it is about God.
His Word cannot be compared to the world for His Word bring forth life.
As a Christian, to hearken unto God is our priority as if our life depends on His Word, ... No wrong statement. I mean our lives depends solely in the Word of God.
Whatever situation we are in or despite what other people has to say about you... know that only God's Word matter, the rest are vain.

Judge ye? Whom should we listen to?

To God be the glory!
