Special Tests for Special Purposes – Part 12
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“For you examine us every morning and test us every moment.”
We cannot lead holy lives if we deliberately consort with unholy people. All such relationships must be cut off with the sharp sword of God’s Word.
The supreme example of right responses to testing is provided by Jesus Himself, Who was in all points tempted (tested) as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 NIV “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet was without sin.” To follow His example requires that we lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us and run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).
It is not sufficient that we deal with things in our lives that are actually sinful. We must also eliminate weights, things that are not sinful in themselves but yet would hinder us from concentrating every effort on our service for Christ.
