VICTORY IN PSALM 119:1-16
Without compromise, excuse, hesitation or contradiction, Psalm 119 constantly flies in the face of sinning religion (as does all of Scripture).
There is nothing in the entire Psalm (176 verses), or the Bible for that matter, which disagrees with these sixteen verses, yet sinning religion constantly tell us that we cannot be faithful, righteous, obedient, pure. Either these verses are God's practical application of salvation or they are fictional.
If these verses do not reflect your own relationship, experience, walk with God, then it is time to trade in your failing, sinning religion for victorious salvation.
Remember, this is not a, "To do list" for aspiring Christians. It is a "will do" list for delivered believers.
