Even So, Come...

July 1

The man who is led by the Holy Spirit of the Living and Eternal God will not soon be swayed in his opinion by the ideas of fools. The man who hears and obeys the Word of the Lord as found in the Holy Bible will not suffer vain and profane men. The man who is grounded in truth abides in the wisdom of the Almighty and the babbling of foolish men cannot affect him.

Those who are not aware of truth, those who do not embrace truth are, according to the Lord’s half-brother, “…like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed,” James 1:6. They are, “… double minded men, unstable in all their ways,” James 1:8. When those who are wisest among us evidence this double-mindedness, we are made manifestly aware that there is no hope in the wisdom of men.

We who are espousers of the Christian faith, we who believe in the inerrancy of the Holy Bible, we who know that the Living God who spoke the worlds into being walked among us and redeemed us from our sin are the only ones on this fallen planet who know and embrace the truth that sets men free. We are the only ones who are not corrupted by the fallacious, purported wisdom of men.

As Jesus said in John 16:13, “When the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you all things that are yet to come.” Today, as men and institutions and economies and governments are failing us, the Spirit of Truth is speaking of Christ’s soon return. And believers say with John the Revelator, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” Revelation 22:20.
