The Nugget:
Pro 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
My Comment:
The Scriptures are described as pure. Every word of God in the Bible is pure. God is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Make sure you are trusting in Him and His infallible, pure, and perfect word. Be very sure you are not placing your trust in spiritual matters in a religious organization, a church–even if it claims to be one of the “one true churches” that Christ founded upon Peter–a denomination, or a system of doctrine like Reformed Calvinism with its misconceived “Doctrines of Grace.” False teaching abounds. God expects and requires us to test the truth of the spiritual claims made by others against what He has revealed in His Word. The Bible can be rightly understood. That is why I stress the need for Real Bible Study.
For those who desire to DIG DEEPER into this subject:
(1) Consult the cross references given in Nelson’s Cross Reference Guide to the Bible on page 687 for Proverbs 30:5.
(2) Consult the cross references given in The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge on page 725 or in Logos 5 Bible software for Proverbs 30:5.
