The Revelation
Matthew 11: 27
"All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but he Father, neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him"
The Revelation of the person of Christ is very precious and must not be taken for granted. Only God reveals himself to a man. Before a man makes a decision for Christ, God puts forth his hand to the man using his seed sown into his heart. Any man who begets a revelation of God about salvation and the offer of Christ, and throws it off afterwards has done himself much harm.
The point at which the knowledge of Christ is made real to a man's soul doesn't come cheap, It takes grace, the great grace of God.
Why would anyone do this despite this grace offered?
What should separate us from the knowledge, revelation and relationship with our heavenly father who has gone the extra length for us?
In the midst of all kinds of weather, true believers are expected to cherish this faith handed down to them because it came at a heavy price.
That being said, thanksgiving must be given to the benevolent God for revealing Christ, because it is a great feat.
There are billions of souls without Christ today, some as a result of the religious foundation of their families, etc. They do not have this revelation. We can co-labour with God by taking out time to pray for them and discuss our faith with them.
Living an exemplary life is important as well.
While those without Christ (unbelievers) exist, so-called believers who live in error also exist. They claim to know him but are filled with erroneous beliefs and doctrines. We can pray for a revelation of the truth unto these ones. The Church of Christ is under attack by the wicked one, there seems to be a replacement of biblical truth with 'modernisation'
Some many scriptural passages are often ignored. We have the duty, all of our bible -believers to stand in the gap so as to restore the Spirit-led Church and to bring great revival. Our failure to do this may not affect us directly but think about some of your relatives who may be part of the group of preachers of lies.
Think about the generation to come, will they meet sound doctrine should Christ tarry long?
Some genuine believers are not opportune to hear sound doctrine and truth, as God would lead you, you can be a channel to share your Bible-based convictions with them, being patient until they see things in the same light that you do.
Remember to cherish the truth that you have received and seek more of Christ.
Shalom.
