Deuteronomy 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Thus, when it came time to turn back to God, I knew exactly what to do. I didn’t need to attend those six- month evangelistic meetings where preachers start from scratch with the sinner. I didn’t need long Bible studies on the state of the dead, or any of the many doctrines we hold dear.
In fact, when the specific Bible worker came in to do the pre-baptism groundwork, and found out that all that she had been asking me I’d already known, and then some, it was then decided to dunk me without further questioning, for my parents had done their due diligence in instructing us in God’s word.
But what we have taking place today in many cases is that children are growing up without God’s moral compass, and as a result, the ability to differentiate good from evil is largely missing. Thus, without the steadfast moral compass of God’s word, kids end up with “My truth” since truth is made relative.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
