Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. — Hebrews 13:9 KJV
Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so. — Hebrews 13:9 NIV
Reflection on Today's Verse
This verse speaks to the core of Christian belief which emphasizes the importance of grounding one’s faith in grace rather than in rituals or external practices. We need to remember that the essence of Christianity is not found in strict adherence to dietary laws and traditions but rather in the grace offered through Jesus Christ. As we all know, this grace is a gift from God which strengthens the heart and spirit transcending physical practices or observances.
