There Is A Global Resistance To
The Word O f God! There is also a
record o f the sins o f men. “ For God
shall bring every work into judge
ment, with every secret thing, wheth
er it be good or whether it be e vil.”
Ecclesiastes 12:14. “ Every idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give
account thereof in the day o f judge
ment. By they words thou shaft be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned.” Matthew 12:36.
Thus, we who love the Lord must
speak the truth; we must do that which
is right in the sight o f the Lord; For
this is our only defense against the
hate o f satan, the master o f sin. Being
flesh, we sin; but believing in Christ
Jesus gives us an advocate to plead in
our behalf before God, the Father 1
