God-given


Ephesians 1: 17       New English Translation

17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, will give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him,

 

James 1:5              New English Translation

5 But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.

 

Standards of conduct are not carved into stone. It should grow in quality

As of the degree of knowledge rises it will keep pace with it

When we better understand the scriptures and revelation comes to us

Experiencing spiritual commitment should reflect in the life we live

 

As His light progresses to shine through us

Our conscience will go forward without offense

This God-given standard which reflects His Holiness

Will point out the flaws and our sinfulness

 

According to our respectful conditions, God will deal with us

He always gives the warnings when we violate His goals

We should not extend ourselves to understand all truth

If it is beyond our capacity, which surely The Holy Spirit knows?
