What will God confront us with when we stand before Him someday?
God will confront us with His Word, and nothing but. He will not ask whether we were obedient to a denomination or its dogma. What counts is what the Scripture says, not what anyone else says. That is where we prepare ourselves for meeting Him one day.
Les explains that when we come before God someday, He will not ask if we were obedient to our denomination or if we obeyed its dogma. Instead, He will confront us with the Word, and nothing but. The key question is, “What saith the Scripture?”—not what anyone else says, not what some philosopher says, but what the book says. Les notes that Paul uses this phrase over and over, citing Romans 4 and Galatians 4:30. Abraham, though a man of stature, had nothing to boast of before God and could only be a man of faith. That is the lesson Scripture is showing, and that is what counts—nothing else. We must prepare ourselves for when we meet Him one day.
