Hi,
PATH. That's what your question is all about.
Why is it important to have a path?
Is it a commandment to find a path?
Which path is it?
Those are very important questions.
I'd like first to read
Jeremiah 6:16
" Thus saith the LORD Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein. "
ASK FOR THE OLD PATHS, saith the Lord.
WALK THEREIN.
And ye shall find rest for your souls, saith the Lord.
Is it important to find this path? YES, VERY IMPORTANT.
IT is actually a commandment of God to ask for the Old path, where the good way is.
It's a commandment. Why is it important? Because it's a commandment of the Lord. What shall we get if we found it? Rest for our souls.
Now, What is this Old Path?
Let's read from
Ephesians 2:10
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them."
UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD AFORE PREPARED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.
Where should we WALK in?
IN GOOD WORKS. God afore prepared for us to walk in them.
Good works is the PATH wherein we have to walk.
Now, why is it called OLD PATH?
Let's read Isaiah 56:11
"Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter."
There are pastors who turned to THEIR OWN WAY.
They did not want the way of the Lord.
They TURNED.
The Lord commandment was to look for the OLD PATH where the good way is. It was written by Jeremiah, a prophet of nations.
Jeremiah 6:16
" Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein. "
THE PATH that we have to walk in is the GOOD WORKS which God hath afore prepared.
And what is the MOST Excellent WAY wherein we have to walk?
Let's read from 1 Corinthians 12:31
"But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you. "
What is it?
Let's read John 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. "
Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.
He is the WAY.
WE should also walk in him. Let's read
Colossians 2:6
"As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,
rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."
EVEN AS YE WERE TAUGHT.
WE walk in his teachings.
I hope that satisfies your question.
