| The Word Quoted |
| You will find that secular writers who are unbelievers, agnostics, or atheists often quote the Word of God in their writings. Their reasons for doing so are varied: some don’t give the matter any thought, others want to show off their intelligence, some quote it as a great literary work or one of the classics, while others do it in out-and-out mockery. |
| This was happening in the early days of Christianity as well. The Apostle Paul said, “Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel” (Philippians 1:15-17). However, he was thankful for whatever way the inspired Scriptures were spoken or written. Listen to what he further adds on the subject: “What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” (Philippians 1:18). |
| You, my reader, have heard the Word of God many times. You may have even quoted it for one reason or another. But are you truly acquainted with its Author? Is God your Father, is the Lord Jesus your Savior? Think seriously about it! |
