MY FRIENDS WHAT AND WHO ARE THE PILLARS OF OUR FAITH?

Today so many faith’s claim to be the remnant of Christ some will even say if you do not believe as we do then you have no chance of life eternal. So friends what is the pillar of your faith and how clearly do you comprehend and present the same gospel that Jesus came in person to present to the world that many have died for.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” John 1:1-5 (NKJV)

“A zealous papist, describing the martyrdom of Huss, and of Jerome, who died soon after, said: “Both bore themselves with constant mind when their last hour approached. They prepared for the fire as if they were going to a marriage feast.

They uttered no cry of pain. When the flames rose, they began to sing hymns; and scarce could the vehemence of the fire stop their singing.” (E.G. White The Great Controversy pp 109-110)

Before Huss died they “put a cap of pyramidal-shaped miter of paper which had frightful figures of demons with the words “Arch heretic” in front, meaning the doctrine he was giving up his life for was at variance with the orthodox or accepted doctrine, of the religious system that was putting him to death.”

So his last words to them were “most joyfully will I wear this crown of shame for the sake, O Jesus, who for me didst wear a crown of thorns” When the proper garment was place on him for execution, “the prelates said, ‘Now we devote thy soul to the devil.”

“And I, said John Huss, lifting up his eyes toward heaven, do commit my spirit into Thy hands, O Lord Jesus, for Thou hast redeemed me.” My friends it becomes personal as we decide what are the pillars of our faith or do we hold all truths to be inspired by God that comes from the word of God.

There is a war being fought even as we sleep over what we should or shouldn’t believe in God’s word. But if it is only a book we touch when running in hast trying to get to Church on time we will never have a Pillar to base our faith on.

So my friends we must ask ourselves with conviction what did the Apostles, Huss, Jerome and other martyrs die for? I never heard it mention they were Muslims, Jehovah witnesses, Church of Christ, Methodist, Adventist or Baptist.

We only know self had to have died in Christ because that is who they gave their life for. My friends we must focus on the life of Christ as we ask His Spirit to guide us into all the truth [and understanding], for [we must recognize] He will not speak on his own authority. But whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to [God’s faithful who will endure to the end] the things that are to come.” John 16:13 (ESV)

The question we must ask ourselves are we willing to listen or will we shut our ears because we have more pressing issues besides Salvation and life eternal in a place “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Cor. 2:9 (NKJV)

Every excuse we may give as the reason we cannot serve Christ, was challenged and answered at Calvary.
