"He that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life" (John 3:36 ASV). This truth is seen when
"Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes
of the children of Israel" (Num. 20:12 ASV). They had not the "conviction" to do just what
God said do. God said unto them, "...speak ye unto the rock before their eyes" (Num. 20:8
ASV). But they "smote the rock" (Num. 20:11). Hence God says, "Ye believed not in
me" (Num. 20:12 ASV).
What is it to "believe in" God? It is to do trustingly and lovingly just what He says. This "faith alone" system is the popular doctrine in pulpits and on rostrums of the modern pastor and money-loving evangelist. There is nothing that they put over with a show that is more deceiving and soul-blighting. |
