[Songs in the Night - October 17] < >
Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. John 5:39
AS OUR text points out, the Lord is revealed in the
Holy Scriptures, and those who would know him should
seek their information from that quarter.
Under divine
providence, apostles, prophets, and teachers are
necessary, indispensable.
But no words of man are to
be taken instead of the Word of God.
On the contrary,
their presentations are to find acceptance only in proportion
as they are found to be in harmony with the
Scriptures, and to discern this harmony the Holy Spirit
is necessary.
The Scriptures must be searched, but
only by coming into a condition of heart harmony and
teachableness, and then by a full consecration receiving
the Holy Spirit, can we hope to understand the
divine message and to obtain therewith the eternal
life which it promises to those guided and taught of
the Lord. Z'09-54 R4334:4 (Hymn 296)
