2 Corinthians 2:17″For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.”
This verse scared me because God’s word is strong, powerful, ‘sharper than any two edged sword.’
“These words are Spirit and they are life.” John 6:63
It’s what we believe in and live our lives by, how can it be misused? ‘Insincerity’ lacking the relationship with God, Himself.
- One way: using God’s word as a weapon in an argument and lacking sincere relationship with Father and love.
- Another: sharing scripture with others and never appearing transformed or grown personally or acknowledging their own sin.
- A third way: publishing Scripture, claiming to have originated it.
Using it to bring someone down instead of lifting them up, that is Bible abuse.
