Every word

When we read God’s word it is so important to understand and believe everything that is said. I am reading from a book that was highly recommended to me, on the book of Romans. It is a verse by verse commentary, not something someone just sits down and reads for pleasure, but this is an exception. One thing the author mentions is how Paul claims to be the least of all men, the chief of sinners, when Paul says this I would, in the past, have just though ok he is humbling himself, but in reality, he is not setting an example of humility he is speaking through the Holy Spirit’s inspiration. If you look at it this way then, you must accept that Paul was truly the chief of sinners, the least of all men.
With that in mind how do you and I read God’s Word? When God had man record, through Holy Spirit inspiration, His Word, then every word is important, remembering also the context of those words is also of utmost importance. I am studying the books of I and II Samuel. In the 7th chapter God tells David that his house will be established forever. God promises these things and David later in the chapter acknowledges God’s promise and believes it. What good is a promise if it cannot be trusted? God’s promises are true and we can claim them to be true!
Now this may seem a little sporadic, but apply that principle to every promise that God says in His Word, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” (Heb. 13:5). We believe that, but we do not always trust it. Now we look at Israel, some say that God is done with that nation or that the Church is become or was always spiritual Israel, but Romans 11 is clear that God is not through with Israel and going back to God’s everlasting promise to David and his house and throne and to His people forever, “For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee forever and thou, the LORD art become their God.” (2Sam. 7:24) It is clear that God was talking about Israel the actual nation and people because in the previous verse it was an actual nation that was redeemed from Egypt.
