Rule: Humility
From 2nd Book
Jump to navigationJump to search
"Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:18)
Since God’s word is complete, full understanding remains elusive until every jot and tittle is accounted for.
- Humility means listening to others' observations and testing all things by Scripture.
- Arrogance manifests in rigid dogmatism, using out-of-context proof texts without engaging in honest discussion.
- Deciding a matter before hearing all perspectives is shameful behavior.
Consequence of ignoring this rule: Scripture is twisted to fit personal agendas.
"He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him." (Proverbs 18:13)
