Christ, the Only Way

It is an easy matter to connect a lot of texts by a jumble of statements, and call them a message; but that does not make them God's message. Ignorance may misinterpret the word of God, and its blunders may be fatal. Blindness and sin and prejudice may do the same. Because one uses many scriptures is no evidence of truth. There is truth in the scriptures used, taken by themselves in their proper connections; but in wrong connections they may be made to teach lies. Satan knows how to misuse scriptures.

The only hope for this old earth lies in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will destroy Satan and sin, and sweep from His creation the polluting marks of transgression. He will usher in the reign of righteousness, peace, and eternal life and immortality. Thru the millenniums of the past men who have forgotten God have been seeking out ways of their own, which have led only to soul-darkness and ruin. There has always been the one shining way, always open, leading out of the quicksands of sin. That way is Christ. That way is open now for all who will leave self and receive Christ. Come, soul, press in to-day.
