SAVED BY FAITH
Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.--Isaiah 40:31
We are approaching stormy times, and we want to study the true foundations of our faith. We want to search the law book to see our title to the immortal inheritance is without a flaw....
The Christian world is now making movements which will necessarily bring the commandment-keeping people of God to notice. There is daily suppression of God's truth for the theories and false doctrines of human origin. There are plans and movements being set on foot to enslave the consciences of those who would be loyal to God. The law-making powers will be against God's commandment-keeping people. Every soul will be tested. Oh. that we would as a people be wise for ourselves and by precept and example impart that wisdom to our children.
Every position of our faith will be searched into; and if we are not thorough Bible students, established, strengthened, settled, the wisdom of the world's great men will be too much for us. The world is busy, anxious, and devoted. All are in the pursuit of some course that God has no part in. Evil is eagerly pursued as though it were righteousness, error as though it were truth, and sin as though it were holiness. Darkness is thickening, covering the earth, and gross darkness the people, and shall God's peculiar people at such a time as this be asleep? Shall those who hold the truth be silent as if paralyzed? (Letter 65, December 31, 1886)
REFLECTION: Is our faith strong enough to be tested? Remember Peter who believed he was strong? Yet, when the test came, he failed miserably. Our only strength is in the Lord.
