(i) WHO IS THE LORD’S?

G.V. Wigram

This wonderfully explains as to Christians in the present day. I believe there is often a mistake in calling in question whether a person is the Lord’s or not, because they do not come up to the standard of our own minds. But God did not question whether Lot was a “righteous man”. We want first largeness of heart to judge as God judges, and then grace to see where the failure is. It is said, ‘Oh! They have not light’. No, that is not it. I believe that the present state of Christendom originates in this – people have not learnt to walk with God. Are you serving the living and true God in whom is your strength, and from whom your joy springs? If not, the truth will not, cannot, have its power.
