Honoring the Standard
We recognize and honor various standards. We do this because
these standards have been well established and widely accepted as
standards for a long time.
In showing respect for these standards, we never argue with the
fact that it takes thirty two ounces to make a quart. We do not try to
change the standard that twelve inches make a foot.
We strictly honor these standards. They are simply a part of our
everyday lives. That subjection on our part is surely the way it ought
to be.
Now let us move in our minds to a totally different kind of
standard. It is a spiritual standard. It is God’s standard, therefore it
is the greatest standard of all.
“Forever O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalms 119:89).
There it is! God’s word, His spiritual standard, has been forever
settled or established in heaven.
O what a great need for individuals to truly allow God’s word to
be the absolute spiritual standard in matters like salvation and
Christian living!
When we do this, we no longer base what we are going to believe
and practice on our feelings, or what is most popular or what
someone tells us. Let us make sure to honor God’s standard.
