[Songs in the Night - May 21] < >
Whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins. Acts 10:43
THERE is no other means of approach to God than
through the remission, the covering, of our sins; and
there is no other means of covering than through faith
in the precious blood of Christ.
All suggestions, therefore,
of salvation without a belief in Jesus, all suggestions
of salvation of the heathen in ignorance, all
suggestions of there being no necessity for a knowledge
of the historic Christ, all suggestions that a
recognition of the Christ spirit of righteousness is sufficient,
all suggestions of harmony with God through
any other than the One appointed "Mediator of the
New Covenant," receive a thorough condemnation in
the words of this text.
The entire plan of God sets
forth and honors not only divine justice, wisdom, love,
and power, but it likewise sets forth and honors the
Lord Jesus as the only way by which access may be
had to the Father, and by which everlasting life may
be attained by any.
In view of these limitations, how
comforting are the assurances of the Scriptures that
for the vast majority of our race the time of knowledge,
and hence, the time of probation for everlasting
life is future, during the Millennium. Z'02-122 R2997:4 (Hymn 103)
