I love to teach and talk about grace and faith. However, it's important to also teach and talk about reproof and correction. Much of Paul's epistles are focused on all of these things. Romans is primarily about grace and faith. 1st Corinthians is primarily a reproof for a carnal church. Galatians is a doctrinal correction . Ephesians- is advanced understanding of grace and faith in our dispensation. Philippians is reproof in behavior to live joyfully even amidst suffering. Colossians is more doctrinal correction . Etc. I ask myself sometimes if I'm open to receive reproof and correction. Over the last year that's certainly been the case. I am still learning and maturing spiritually through the word so I'm sure there will still be plenty of reproof and correction for me in the future! How about you? Are you open to reproof and correction? If we are not open to reproof and correction from God's word we won't grow. We will not be like a tree plan...
