"It's just a . . ."
How often do we believe that lie?
It's just a movie. It's just a book. It's just a little bit of cake. It was just a little over the speed limit. It's just a little pill. It's just one drink.
It's just a little sin.
"Just" is an interesting word; of which there are several definitions; one being:
4. As an adverb:
"You use just to indicate that something is no more important, interesting, or difficult, for example, than you say it is, especially when you want to correct a wrong idea that someone may get or has already got.
[emphasis]
It's just a suggestion.
It's not just a financial matter.
You can tell just by looking at me that I am all right.
The reason women are drinking is just because they like it.
"Just" only a little word; of no importance; merely four letters; I mean it's "just a" word! Right?
The devil wants you to think that, but The Bible has a great deal to say about "words!"
Jesus speaking: “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Matthew 12:37 KJV
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35 KJV
“Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.” Proverbs 6:2 KJV
“O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Matthew 12:34 KJV
Of course IF you think The Word Of God is "just a book", then my words will not mean much to you!
That's another lie from the devil. He wants you to think that what you read has no impact on eternity; that now is all there is! He wants you to think, that watching a movie that has "just" a little witchcraft or "just" a little porn, will be okay. I mean, "God knows your heart!" Right?
(If you believe in God)
Here's a few more definitions of "just!"
"Based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.
‘fighting for a just cause’
"(of treatment) deserved or appropriate in the circumstances.
‘we all get our just deserts'
"(of an opinion or appraisal) well founded; justifiable.
‘these simplistic approaches have been the subject of just criticism’"
So, with regards to our disregarding God's Commandments; a "just" God, would be "justifiable" in His sentence, and we should all get our "just desert!"
Praise God for His mercy and His grace!
“The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.”
Psalms 12:6 KJV
“How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
Psalms 119:103 KJV
“Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.”
Proverbs 10:6 KJV
“The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.”
Isaiah 26:7 KJV
Forgive us Father for not rightly considering our words or handling Your Words!
Even so - MARANATHA!
