Psalm 12:6,7 - The words of the Lord are pure words, As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times. You, O Lord, will keep them; You will preserve him from this generation forever.
These words ought to come in the welcome packet for each new believer. When we come to Christ we ought to get an owner's manual for our new faith and life and these two verses ought be inscribed in gold on the outside of the folder. Walking with God by faith is complex to many but simple to the Man of God in Pslams. Walking with God by faith is as simple as taking God at His Word and believeing in it and acting accordingly. God has spoken and we are meant to respond in faith. Romans tells us that "faith comes from hearing the Word of God" (Romans 10). In Hebrews 11 we read all the things the "famous ones" did by acting in faith at God's command to them. They didn't question God's Word they simple obeyed it. This verse tells us that the reason we can trust God's word is because it has been purified like silver. His word is purified by His character. Since God is pure so too must His Word be. And, by the way, new believers do recieve an owners manual upon new birth ... It is His entire First addition of His Word!
My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
