Blameless

Walking blamelessly is the same as not committing a transgression of the laws one knows or ought to know. This is the relationship of the country’s citizens to the laws of the authorities, and this is our relationship to God’s Word and laws. Being blameless is therefore the same as living an overcoming life, which means not committing works of the flesh, which means not doing the works of the old man by not serving the law of sin with your mind, by not committing sin, which is equal to not doing what you know beforehand is wrong, which is equal to having a good conscience toward God and men.

“I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” Ps. 101:2. “I hate transgressions; it shall not cling to me.” V. 3. “He who walks in a blameless way, he shall serve me.” V. 6. Job was blameless, yet he had sin. He was not perfected. It takes more to be blameless now than it did then, since the light is greater now. As we receive more light, more and more is required of us in order to be blameless. What one person can do with a blameless heart, another person with far more light would feel judged by, and a third person with even more light would have to fall away in his heart if he did what someone who is newly converted can do with a blameless heart. Therefore you cannot judge a person correctly by just seeing his work, but you have to view the work in light of the stage of development on which every single person finds himself. This is how God judges every individual, and this is also what we ought to do.
