The Gospel Call to Individuals
A National Reform writer argues that, because the Gospel message is to the individual and not to communities, it is no evidence that if Christ were to come back into the world to-day His message would not be a social message. These speculations as to what Christ would do if He were to come back to earth are purely assumptive. Aside from the fact that He is not coming back until He comes to execute judgment, it is quite certain that He would not, under any circumstances, change the plan of salvation. He is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. The call ever has been, and therefore must be, to men as individuals. Every one who trusts to being taken into the kingdom by virtue of social relations, or membership in a community—even a church community—will surely be disappointed.
