Moses And The Prophets
by
Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Now our Lord, when on earth, encouraged, 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).
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).
