Matthew 13: 12
Jesus, in explaining the Parable if the Soils, tells His disciples, To those who listen to My teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.
How serious are the ramifications of heeding or ignoring God's Word! His Word is Truth that sets us free; it is Light that dispels the darkness. To ignore it is to bring upon ourselves a deepening spiritual, mental, and psychological darkness; to allow ourselves to slip into the quicksand quagmire of bondage. How black-and-white Truth really is, with no grey area at all!
May we all take God seriously, never brushing off His revelations of Truth in even the small details of our lives. It's all the little things that build into the big things of life.
God is serious with us; we need to take Him at His Word. Otherwise we will find ourselves slipping down that steep slope to oblivion and destruction, away from all light, all good, all beauty.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
