God Judges According to the Light Given to Each One ㅡ

“The light of the righteous rejoices: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.”

 (Proverbs 13:9)

In the presentation of the truth, those who honestly desire to be right will be awakened to a diligent searching of the Scriptures.

This will produce results similar to those that attended the labors of the apostles in Berea.

But those who preach the truth in these days meet many who are the opposite of the Bereans.

They cannot controvert the doctrine presented to them, yet they manifest the utmost reluctance to investigate the evidence offered in its favor, and assume that even if it is the truth it is a matter of little consequence whether or not they accept it as such.

They think that their old faith and customs are good enough for them.

But the Lord, who sent out his ambassadors with a message to the world, will hold the people responsible for the manner in which they treat the words of his servants.

God will judge all according to the light which has been presented to them, whether it is plain to them or not.

It is their duty to investigate as did the Bereans.

The Lord says through the prophet Hosea: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.” (Hosea 4:6).
