Good morning. Why do we ask unsaved people about spiritual matters? What advice can a sinner give us that can override what God has spoken in his word? We have to be careful who we take advice from. We should never seek counsel from the ungodly; it doesn’t matter how good of a person they are. The Bible declares if they are not for us then they are against us. The mere fact that they haven’t chosen Jesus as their Lord and Savior lets us know they are not for us, they are not on the Lord’s side. The best advice we can ever receive is from the Lord himself. When will we ever learn to take God’s word over man’s word? If we can get this basic principle down, we would save ourselves from a lot of headaches and heartaches.
Genesis 3:1-5
The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the LORD God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.” “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing
