Do we realize this?

I Thessalonians 2:13 “And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God…” There is a huge difference between what you are reading right now and what you read a few seconds ago, the verse above.  The first are the absolute words of truth while the second is human interpretation or understanding.  The second is hopefully correct while the first is absolutely correct.  When God speaks we listen very carefully and then apply His truth.  What an extreme blessing it is to study Scripture–God’s Word.
