God Knows
“Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do” (Hebrew 4:13).
A missionary in China read Romans chapter 1 To a large audience. When he had finished his reading, giving emphasis to the last twelve verses (21-32), a native Chinese man came to him quite upset, and stated that it was quite unfair for this foreign devil (as they usually referred to missionaries) to come to their land and find out all their secret sins, and then write them down in a book, and read them out in public that way!
Interesting account isn’t it? It shows that, like a mirror exposing the dirt on our face, the Bible exposes the sin and corruption of our hearts. Like a mirror, it tells us exactly what the true condition is, but unlike a mirror, it provides the remedy as well. Don’t argue with the Word of God. Accept its truth, and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. Don’t be like the “man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was” (James 1:23-24).
