“Faith which accepts one Word of God and rejects another is not faith in God, but faith in our own judgment or our own taste.” Charles Spurgeon

We can’t go through our Christian life cherry-picking what we will accept & reject in the Bible…either we receive God’s Word as infallible, or we don’t. Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 8:3 in Matthew 4:4 when He said, “Man doesn’t live by bread alone, man lives by every Word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” Every Word in the Bible is fit for God to direct, provide, and give us victory. His Word is truth, (John 17:17) in a world swirling with falsehoods & lies. So, we can’t pick and choose what we’ll accept & what we’ll reject in His Word…for it just shows how prideful we have become…thinking we know more than God. Proverbs 10:8 tells us that, “The wise heart will receive commandments.” and in contrast, I Thessalonians 4:7-8 warns us, “For God didn’t call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction doesn’t reject man but God…”
