"It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him." (The Message)
Abel demonstrated faith and obedience, so his offering was accepted by God...Abel still speaks to us in that we MUST obey God in order to please Him...Enoch and Elijah did not experience death, but werre miraculously delivered from it...maybe indicates what I Cor. 15:51,52 will be like...faith in God is essential to all acceptable worship and service of any kind...Living By Faith by James Wells in 1918
ReplyDeleteI have tried to be accepted by my old friends by doing what they did, and doing what they thought was acceptable and right. I have tried to be like people who I looked up to in order to seem respectable in the eyes of others. But at the end I was still lonely, sad and with a bunch of fake friends who liked me for somebody who I was not.
