Know When to Speak

““Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (Matthew‬ ‭7:6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When a person is closed-minded to hearing the truth, there is no way you can convince them though debates and arguments.

Be led by the Holy Spirit on when to speak, and when to restrain your tongue. Don’t be controlled by your emotions. A loose tongue comes from being driven by emotions.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit garrisons your heart with His peace even when you are in the midst of being scolded or persecuted. He empowers you to be like Jesus who was silent and at peace, even when being accused by all the religious leaders in front of Pontius Pilate.

Godly wisdom and truth are like precious pearls. Don’t show them to people when they are not ready to see their value.

Only God can give you the right word at the right time, so that your words can find their target like an arrow hitting its mark. Such words cut the heart, showcase God’s glory, and bring the strongest of men to tears. When pride is broken, God’s goodness can enter and bring one to repentance. Be led by the Spirit!

God Takes No Pleasure in Doing This

“Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my deeds for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’ as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’” Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end: while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn’t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses? With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.” ‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭3:7-19‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The unbelieving generations of the children of Israel in the wilderness represent unbelievers who stubbornly refuse to place their faith in Jesus for salvation.

Even though the children of Israel experienced God’s goodness in the wilderness and His deliverance from Egypt, they didn’t place their faith in Him as their Savior.
They kept complaining against Moses even after seeing miracle after miracle from Yahweh (the pre-incarnate Christ).

Examples of people who saw and experienced Jesus’ miracles and didn’t place their faith in Him: Judas Iscariot, the chief priests, Pharisees, scribes and Sadducees.

There are people who won’t even place their faith in Jesus if they see Him and His works in person—salvation is not for everyone.
Some people use their free will to choose to be separated from Jesus—probably not believing the eternal implications of their choice.

Some people blame God for condemning people to the lake of fire and say that a gracious, loving, merciful God won’t do that.
However God is not just gracious, loving and merciful.
He is also holy and righteous, meaning sin has to be punished, no matter how He hates to punish mankind for it.

If unbelievers refuse to accept the free gift of salvation through faith in Jesus, then they have chosen to pay the penalty of death for their own multitude of sins committed against God.

Entering God’s rest means being saved. The children of Israel crossing the River Jordan into the Promised Land of Canaan is a picture of being baptized into Jesus’s death and resurrection—passing from death into eternal life.

It’s a sinner’s unbelief alone that separates him/her from God—not any other sins.
