“The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law”.– Deuteronomy 29:29.
Our father is a just God. He will not judge us on what He has not given to us. It’s like a student that goes for an examination. He is given a syllabus and his exam is based on the whole syllabus whether he covers it or not is his business. So is our relationship with God. He has revealed his words to us in the bible and we are expected to study it and ensure compliance. It is generally said that ignorance of a law is not an excuse. One is expected to search out the relevant law and ensure obedience. It does not matter how long the law had been enacted.
That’s why God stated in Deuteronomy 29:29 KJV that …”The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law
So God has revealed the bible to us and we are expected to study the promises such as 3 John 1:2 that I wish above all things that you prosper and be in good health even as thy soul prospereth. Or 1 Peter 2:24 which says by whose stripes ye were healed. These promises are to be appropriated to our lives.
Similarly, we are to note the obligations such as 2 Timothy 2:15(KJV) “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Or Matthew 28:19 KJV. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
All are for our compliance as stated in Deuteronomy 29:29. How well do you study the revealed word of God and how compliant are you? May God Almighty bless you and your household as you walk in obedience.
PRAYER: Father, give me the grace to study, meditate and obey your word in Jesus name.
