Well, how did you do? (the answers are at the end of this lesson) The rules that you were given, were very simple. The questions were not very hard. I hope that you aced it, but if you didn’t there is no harm done. In life you are going to have to make decisions daily, and you must base those decisions on your instruction book, your Bible. So let’s look at some truths about instruction.
You must have a knowledge of the instructions
You probably kept referring back to the rules when you took the sample test. I refer back to my Bible every day!
[Prov.23:12] To have any knowledge of God’s rules you must “apply thine heart”. Having a knowledge of God’s rules is very important, but if you don’t apply them to your heart and sincerely want keep them, then you are going to err, [Prov.10:17]
Success is based on following the instructions
[Prov.6:23] instruction is part of life.
[Prov.8:33] instruction will make you wise, [Prov.9:9] and wiser,
[Prov.19:20] all the way to old age!
[Prov.24:30-32] Take instruction from others mistakes
[Prov.19:27] Cease to hear bad instruction!!!
[2 Tim.3:16] instruction in righteousness
Did Fear of the Test hamper your results?
Some folks do badly on test, and following the instructions because of fear.
[Prov.15:33] You need a good Fear of the Lord
[Prov.5:11-13] you don’t want to get to the end and have regrets
[Prov.5:23] Horrible way to live your life
[Prov.13:18] want poverty and shame?
[[Prov.1:1-7] The Fear of the Lord is your starting point!
