A Picture of Grace from God's Point of View

shazeep,

Jesus routinely used the Holy Scriptures of the Old Covenant to judge and condemn the scribes and Pharisees.

We are to emulate Christ, are we not?

Shall we not use the Holy Scriptures in a similar fashion at such time as the confession of one does not match up with the profession?

How does one reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine if one doesn't use the Holy Scriptures to do it?

Is not all of Scripture God-breathed, and therefore beneficial for those very things?

It appears you would have us toss the Bible aside as an impossibly hard book to understand, of which we may always find ourselves ignorant, and therefore, unqualified to use as a measuring stick in any capacity.

How do you, personally, in your own life, go about emulating Christ without the written texts that first told you Who and What He was and is? Indeed, those very written texts tell you how to emulate Him!
