Bible Note: Amen and Amen, Ed! Well said indeed. The threats to the church are not the atheists, the agnostics, secular humanism or cults that are so far out that they can be readily recognized a mile away. They are wolves who make no pretense: they come in wolves' clothing. But how dangerous and insidious are those who, being as much wolves as any in the foregoing list, come in sheep's clothing. It is they who pander to human greeed. It is they who teach that man can manipulate God, can run the show, can be the master of his own fate, the captain of his own ship. It is they who will not surrender to the will and Lordship of Christ, but who teach that they have discovered a clever way to force Christ to cater to their whim and will. If indeed it is faith they claim to have, it is faith in faith, faith in their own devious cleverness, and not the faith that the Bible clearly defines. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" [Prov.9:10]. But we see today an ever-enlarging trend to replace the fear of the Lord with the foolishness of false teaching. That phrase, "God is obligated" rings in my ear still. What bunkum! What foolishness! What blasphemy! If God were "obligated" to give us what we truly deserve, to mete out the justice that our sins warrant, we would all perish in our sins. The Bible says we are saved by God's grace. The Bible says that God loved us in such a way that He gave His one and only, unique, Son so that, believing in Him, we should not perish, but have eternal life. The Bible calls salvation the GIFT of God. [Eph.2:8; Rom.6:23] It certainly never calls it the OBLIGATION of God. --Hank |
