With the defense of this shield for my mind, I am able to read Scripture without being led like a lamb into the sheepfold to pray for forgiveness and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Instead, I can grow in the knowledge I have already received from God. Knowledge about Liberty, Justice, Wisdom, Truth, Invisible things of Creation...
In Jeremiah (6:21) God gives a great warning to all who will heed it. In Micah (6:8) it is laid out plain what God does want from us. In Psalms (23) it is made clear God will lead sheep like a Shepherd. Yet it is the inheritance of Scriptures treasures, like eternal life, gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the many promises of the Living God, are inclusive of.
The Gospel Shield Against Scriptures Letter
1Timothy 4:4
Romans 14:14
Titus 1:15
James 2:12
John 8:30-32
Romans 12:12
These verses keep me going when anyone tries quoting The Bible to curse others for their sins by the letter of the law instead of letting the spirit of the law, justice, and protection from predatorial people, guide their minds to realizing there is much forgivable, not just forgiven.
