That is, God
will raise up some faithful pastors and teachers who will “watch for
your souls as they that must give an account.” True, there shall
arise false teachers, perverting the Word of the Lord and seeking by
cunning sophistries to subvert your souls; but if in simplicity of
heart God’s children require a “Thus saith the Lord” for every
element of their faith, and carefully prove all things by the Word,
they will be able to distinguish readily the true from the false.
And having done so, the Apostle Paul (Heb. 13:17) counsels us to
have confidence. The Lord, our Shepherd, will care for the true
sheep. |
