Transcript Whom the Lord Commendeth

It seems man will never learn that he is
the sinner and he has sinned against God.
As a result of being such a sinner, man is
in a position to respond and comply. Also,
man is without authority to pronounce
himself “right.”
“19: To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling
the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto
us the word of reconciliation. 20: Now then we
are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's
stead, be ye reconciled to God” (2 Cor. 5).
“24: Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy
way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then
come and offer thy gift” (Matt. 5).
“15: Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against
thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and
him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained
thy brother” (Matt. 18).
“18: For not he that commendeth himself
is approved, but whom the Lord
commendeth” (2 Cor. 10).
“I am saved, but I have not submitted to
baptism for remission of sins!” (Mark
16: 16, Acts 2: 38).
“I know my church is not in the Bible,
but I am heaven bound!” (Matt. 16: 18.
19, Eph. 4: 4).
“I should not speak as I do, but my
heart is good!” (Eph. 4: 29).
“ I do not regularly attend, but I feel that
I am doing right!” (Acts 2: 42, cp. I Tim.
5: 8).
“The fact that I do not teach others and
stand for truth does not call into question
my spiritual faithfulness!” (Phili. 2: 16,
Jude 3).
God’s word is our spiritual
looking glass in which we see
ourselves (Jas. 1: 23, 24, 2 Cor.
3: 8). Hence, we should
determine our spiritual status.
However, it is the “Lord who
commendeth.”
