MFM Daily Devotional 26 September 2022 OUTLINE

A misunderstanding of the meaning of the word of God can lead to its misguided application. We must understand how a passage is applied when it was first given before we can understand how it applies now. When Jesus said “…To day shalt thou be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43), its immediate application was for the thief beside Him but because all scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, the Lord wants all believers to take advantage of its full application to their lives.

Obviously, the contemporary application is not that each Christian will die today and be with Jesus in paradise. But one way we can apply this text is in terms of preparing for death by examining ourselves daily because it is possible for the trumpet to sound at any time or for death to come. You can also apply the text regarding the presence of Christ.

Matthew 28:20b says, “…And, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” As Christians, Christ is always present within us, thus He is with us today even though we are not yet in paradise. How does a fresh awareness of Christ’s presence affect your prayers or outlook on the rest of the day? Jesus’ promise to the thief is an example of how not every promise is meant to be applied today exactly the same way it was originally given. Yet many other promises are general, universal, and perpetual in their application.

Some obvious examples are John 3:16, Romans 10:9, Psalms 23:1, Psalms 91, etc. How can we know which passage should be applied somewhat differently than when first given? This is where a growing knowledge of scripture through hearing, reading, studying and in particular, meditating on God’s word pays dividends. For the better we understand the Bible, the better equipped we will be to apply it.
