“The Commandment A Lamp, The Law A Light, Reproofs Of Instruction A way Of Life”
Reference: Proverbs Chapter 6
The commandment of God is the Word of God. He is the Lamp to the feet of the believer.
The Law of God is the Word of God. He is the Light of the World to the believer.
The instructions of God is the Word of God. He is the Way of life.
The Word of God is known to us today as Jesus Christ, the Word of God becoming flesh, and tabernacling among men and women.
John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
He is the Lamp, the Light, and the Way of life.
The writer of proverbs declares the commandment a lamp, the law a light, and reproofs of God’s instruction a way of life.
Let’s read:
Proverbs 6:1-22 “My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, [2] Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. [3] Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. [4] Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. [5] Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. [6] Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: [7] Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, [8] Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. [9] How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? [10] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: [11] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. [12] A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. [13] He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; [14] Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. [15] Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. [16] These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: [17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, [18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, [19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. [20] My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: [21] Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. [22] When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.”
The Word of God leads, keeps, and comforts.
He leads us in the path of righteousness, keeps us from the fiery darts of the enemy, and comforts us in times of sorrow.
Only the Word of God can do that. His name is Jesus Christ.
We continue our reading:
Proverbs 6:23 “For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:”
He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Jesus Christ. His name is the Word of God. His.
We conclude our reading:
Proverbs 6:24-35 “To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. [25] Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. [26] For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. [27] Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? [28] Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? [29] So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. [30] Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; [31] But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. [32] But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. [33] A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. [34] For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. [35] He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.”
Any other way is death. The Word of God (Jesus Christ) is the only way of life. For the problem of man is blood, and the solution to man is another blood.
Embrace the Word of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Lamp, the Light, the Way of life, in Christ!
