The Secret Of The Lord

"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29:29

There are many things which the Lord does not choose to make known to us. But what little information we have that comes from God is placed upon us as an obligation and a duty to observe (and do) all of what God teaches. Not part of His laws. Not some of His laws. Not even most of His laws. But all of those laws. That requires us to learn his laws so that we can do what His laws command us to do. If we do not do them we can suffer in so many different ways, and ultimately we will suffer the worst destruction of all. In Hosea 4:6 it reads “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge...” It is ignorance of God’s ways that cause us to perish.

“The Secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant.” Psalm 25:14

“And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.'" Job 28:28

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverb 9:10

“The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.” Proverb 14:27

To fear the Lord is to honor, respect, reverence, and obey Him. Whether it is convenient or not on our part, it is best to obey God for our future welfare. To those who know God and honor Him in obedience, there is greater understanding about God and His ways. We encourage everyone to learn the ways of God and begin to apply those ways to your hearts. Let us teach you these ways, and you will be blessed by the Lord. Refuse to submit to God and you will pay a terrible cost. If you need assistance, let us help you.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, (Acts 16:31). Repent of your sins (Acts 8:22). Confess His name (Romans 10:9-10)Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:15-16). And be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10). There is no other way if you know your Bible.

May God bless you in your study of His word.
