Stand on the Word of God Only

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in Thy word. Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from Thy testimonies. Psalm 119:11,42,157

Those who endeavor to obey all the commandments of God will be opposed and derided. They can stand only in God. In order to endure the trial before them, they must understand the will of God as revealed in his Word; they can honor him only as they have a right conception of his character, government, and purposes, and act in accordance with them. None but those who have fortified the mind with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict. To every soul will come the searching test, Shall I obey God rather than men? The decisive hour is even now at hand. Are our feet planted on the rock of God's immutable Word? Are we prepared to stand firm in defense of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus? GC88 593


We have the Word of God and then there is Revelation 19:10 "for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." We have in these two resources, all of His advice and as He lives His life in and through us while abiding in our hearts we can also have the bonus of, we will “hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it” Isaiah 30:21. What a comfort this is to each one of us also with all that we are personally and as believers facing at this time, waiting on Christ for every thought, word, deed and place to go. Living by the “faith of Jesus”
