We Are Children of The Light
Ye are the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1. Thess. 5:5
The Bible is God's great director. It is a lamp to our feet, a light to our path. It flashes its light ahead, that we may see the path by which we are traveling; and its rays are thrown back on past history, showing the most perfect harmony in that to which the mind in darkness appears like error and discord. In that which seesm to the wordling an inexplicable mystery, God's children see light and beauty.
The Israelites placed over their doors a signature of blood, to show that they were God's property. So every child of God in this age will bear the signature God has appointed. God declares, "I gave them my Son, to be a sign between me and them, that they may know that I am the Lord that sancty them." When people say that the law of God is abrogated by the testimonies of the "fathers", they are teaching for doctrine the commandment of men. The man of sin is constantly working with marvelous perseverance to exalt what is not of God, to enforce that which has not a word of authority in the oracles of God.
This conflict now being waged is not merely a strife of humans against humans. This is a conflict with the the Lord acting as our substitute and surety in one side and in the other the prince of darkness with his fallen angels trying to convince us of the ways of the world. The church has joined hands with the world. Reverence to God has been removed and placed in various divertions. Reverence to God's laws has been surverted. Our religious leaders have taught for doctrine the commandments of men. The true loyal will not be convince and carried away. They will not throw scorn and conptempt on that which God has given us and set apart as holy.
There are only two sides, God's and the world... Which side are you?
