Winning War

I am reminded about the sermon I heard from John MacArthur entitled "The Long War on the Truth". It's an exposition on Jude 1-4, which is a really really powerful sermon about upholding the truth of the Bible. As I wonder what is the result of standing on the truth would be? The answer is simple and that it was to glorify God; to be consume with the passion to know Him more, to love him more and to exalt Him above all! And what better way to know the heart of God than to look at the character of God himself when he was on the earth. Just reading about how Jesus handled the religious hypocrites of his day, the oppressed, his disciples tells us a lot about God. In the Old Testament, we read about God's judgement and His declaration of mercy on His people thru His prophets. In the Gospels, we see God's judgement and His declaration of mercy (and everything that He is) in Christ. Now we may live to see the fulfilment of God's judgement and salvation in Christ's second-coming.

There is a hope! There is a future! How did we know? It's not just the Holy Spirit revealing it to us, but it's also revealed in the Bible. And that future is sealed by the Spirit of God and it will come to past because we know it.
