Service And Reward - W O Travis - October 16, 1928

W O Travis

Do you believe in God? Does your belief in Him lead you to follow His instructions? Just belief without obedience will gain you nothing, for it is written, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou- doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." James 2:19. Please read all the references. The work we should do that is pleasing to God, is to believe on Christ (John 6:28, 29), and to take up our cross and follow Him. Matt. 16:24; John 12:26. That is to obey His instructions (as found in the Bible), instead of our own, or some other man's, for Christ alone is our Savior, and He told us to come to Him if we would be saved. John 39:40; Acts 4:12. It was His mission, at His first appearing to save the world, not to condemn. John 12:47; 3:17. His second coming will be in judgment and with vengeance. 2 Thess. 1:7-9. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
