| How little did this man realize that he was, in the vanity of his mind imagining that he was competent, as a fallen creature in Adam, to sit in judgment on the things of God, actually taking sides with rationalists and infidels, instead of bowing to Scripture as God’s Word, and allowing it to judge him. Yet, such is the pride and audacity of man in these days when many prefer their own opinions to the truth of the Bible. There are many who question the truth of man’s sinful condition, the truth of heaven and hell, and just about everything else God has caused men to write by divine inspiration. They are like those in the Lord’s time who were “teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” (Mark 7:7). Remember, the inspired writers did not record their own opinions, “But holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (1 Peter 1:21). Have you accepted the truth of God at face value? And are you saved? |
