Some, and perhaps all of us, need the exhortations, "Let us not be weary in well doing; for...we shall
reap if we faint not" (Gal. 6:9), and "Let us go on unto perfection..." (Heb. 6:1).
A crown of life awaits those who are faithful to the end (Rev. 2:10). The faithful are those in the front line. We are soldiers of the cross, and the fight is on. Our greatest victory is to bring our own being into subjection to the Lord's will. Satan is pleased when he sees a man who claims to be a Christian compromising between truth and error. The truth must stand and the error must fall. There can be no compromise if we are to please God (Gal. 1:10). Satan will fight as long as we stand for the truth, but he relents and is pleased when we give in to those in error. Regardless of how much we may be attached to a man, we should remember that the truth is greater than any human being. |
