Do not err

James 1:16
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
.................................................................................................................................................


There is a saying that " to err is human and to forgive is divine".

When we depend on our human frailty, we will err in all aspect of life but when we perfect ourselves and be led by the Holy Spirit, we will be the Sons of God and as He is holy, we will be sacred in our dealings and be perfect.

The cause to err is Satan, who is at the door. His desire is to lead you to err and have access to dominate and control your life.

Apostle James instructs us, Do not err beloved. That is, we should be careful not to err.

Do not Err ...planao..gk, meaning ...go astray, ....deceive, ...err, ...seduce, ...wander, ...be out of the way.

In other words, do not be out of the way in our walk with the Lord. And be careful in all our dealings in word, thoughts and actions.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: Jas 1:19

Why this instruction in righteousness?

This because when we err, we wander from the way out of the hedge of protection you have been placed under. The serpent will then have access to bite and poison your soul.

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. Job 1:10

He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. Eccl 10:8

We live in a world full of deception and seduction so this instruction. Do not deceive or seduce and be also watchful and vigilant not to be deceived or seduced.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Gal 6:7

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. Col 2:4

It is therefore important for us to walk in the paths of righteousness by being careful not to err. Jesus said I know my sheep and they hear my voice.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Jn 10:27

Meditation in the Word of God and our delight in it will keep us from error and Sin. We err because we do not know the scriptures.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Mt 22:29

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Jos 1:8

Do not err and wander out of your great salvation ready to be revealed and be an overcomer. Only then can we receive our crown.

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev 3:5


Stay blessed.
