Another
reason for the impending judgment of God is the apostasy that has
crept into the Church. Today, we stand at the door of a grand
endeavor. That is to prepare for the appearing of the Son of God, the
King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. Our challenge is
to make ready the bride to be united with the bridegroom. She must
remain chaste, pure, undefiled and without spot or wrinkle. The
external forces in our world are pressing in upon the boundaries of
holiness and righteousness which are so firmly established in God's
Holy Word.
The
ideals of a carnal theology have infiltrated the pulpit and weakened
the faith that was once delivered to the saints. Jude 1:3, “Beloved,
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye
should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto
the saints.” What faith is Jude speaking about? He was talking
about the message that Jesus taught which command He had given to the
Church. Matt. 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am
with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
The
promise of Christ is that as the pure Gospel goes forth, it is
accompanied by His power and authority. When religious men compromise
the Word of God, there is no authority of Christ, therefore, there is
no power. If there is no power in the message, ask by whose authority
the message has come. Is this my message or the message from the
heart of God? (To be continued) The Message: A Critical Review Of End
