[Manna - September 23]
Ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jude 3
OUR good fight of faith consists in a considerable
measure in our defense of the Word of God, which includes
also our defense of the character of God.
This
will mean our willingness to stand for the Truth at any cost and against any number of assailants—against the creeds and theories of men, which would
misrepresent the good tidings of great joy which the
Lord and the apostles have announced, and which
shall, thank God, yet be unto all people.
As the
apostle again says, "I am set for the defense of the
Truth."
We can do no less than defend the Truth.
The Truth is God's representative, Christ's representative,
and hence our standard, and as true soldiers
we must defend our standard, even unto death. Z.'03-423 R3274:3
