Moses And The Prophets
by C. R. Stam
Don’t depend upon your clergyman, my dear friend, to interpret the Scriptures for you. See for yourself what God says in His Word. For “every one of us shall give an account of himself to God”, says Romans 14:12. And it won’t be enough in that day to say, my minister or my priest told me so and so. You are responsible, you, to search the Scriptures for yourself, to see whether these things are so.
Why don’t you search the Scriptures, especially the epistles of Paul, our apostle. For it is Paul who says, “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles [Nations], I magnify mine office” (Rom.11:13). Learn in his epistles this mystery among the Gentiles which is Christ in you the hope of glory and how it is that Christ’s death on Calvary’s cross can save you.
“In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph.1:7).
Now our Lord, when on earth, ,
indeed He even challenged His audiences to “Search the Scriptures” for
themselves (John 5:39). Indeed since God revealed Himself and His plan of
salvation in the written Word, we are responsible, each one for himself to study
the Scriptures. When the rich man Dives begged Abraham to be allowed to go and
warn his five brothers about the horrors of hell, Abraham replied, “They have
Moses and the prophets; let them hear them”. And when the rich man urged that a
word from him would be more effective, Abraham answered, “If they hear not
Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from
the dead” (Luke 16:29,31).
