Note that it’s His power or regulation rather than our self-effort and our ideas. It’s His gift of righteousness by grace. Grace is through faith. Faith comes by hearing. Hearing comes by the rhema of God. It all starts with His rhema, His utterance, His leading, His teaching, His correcting voice. We must topple is the idol of human intellect and self-righteousness.

There’s another part of God’s revelation we must understand, and everyone on this journey may already understand, but we put it here to be complete. God loves us, and we can know this truth with certainty by God’s revelation. He knows we fall far short of absolute righteousness and holiness. Therefore, being a just God, He must judge us in a just way. That would mean punishment in hell. However, He didn’t want this punishment for us since He loves us so much, so He suffered our penalty, paying the price for our wrong thoughts, words, and acts. That price was the highest price anyone’s ever paid for anything. And He paid it with His blood on the cross, a Roman instrument of torture and shame. He bore the curse of every sinner.

As we look to Christ right now, He speaks to us and reveals reality to us. He wants us to listen, but we can either accept what He’s saying or reject it. And if we accept it, He imparts certainty to us. On the other hand, if we reject what He says, we suffer consequences.

We’ll find God never gives any revelation that conflicts with Scripture but often gives a revelation that conflicts with our varied interpretations of Scripture. So we’ll ask God to pull the dark veil away so we can gaze into the Light. And perhaps we’ll at least begin to see how we can apply this Light in a useful way in every part of our lives.

We’ll find Scripture has authority since we can’t read Scripture without God speaking through Scripture. And yet, we also learn we can add our own thoughts to Scripture or use our corrupted minds to interpret or filter Scripture.
