It is necessary for the
discipline, trial and final proving of the Church of God that they
should be subjected to these adverse influences; for to him that
overcomes them is the promise of the great reward. If we
would share in the Kingdom with Christ, we must prove our worthiness
by the same tests of loyalty to God, of faith in His Word, of zeal
for the Truth, of patient endurance of reproach and persecution,
even unto death, and of unwavering trust in the power and purpose of
God to deliver and exalt His Church in due time. To such faithful
ones are the blessed consolations of Psalm
91. |
