Handling the Word of God

2 Corinth: 4:2 “but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the Word of God deceitfully; but by manifesting the truth we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.”-


The Word of God stands alone without any defense. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, men full of the Holy Ghost, led by God’s Spirit wrote with a pure conscience how God wants His children to live. His Word is not open to interpretation that caters to selfish desires of men’s hearts. It is to be handle with care and interpreted with pure intentions. It is not to be used for selfish gain or want. How the Word is interpreted is critical to how we live. Interpreting God’s Word to justify our sinful behavior is handling God’s Word deceitfully. We should always look into the Word of God with the intention of drawing closer to God. If our interpretation of His Word causes us to live a holy life, then we can live with a clear conscience in the sight of God. Not everyone will see the scriptures in the same light or interpreted it the same, but we all can have an interpretation that will manifest the truth to our heart with a conscience void of offense.
