1417. Ye Receive Honor of Men

Ye Receive Honor of Men

"How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?" (Joh_4:44).

We are finding out the real reasons why men are not saved; not the reasons they themselves give. The fourth reason men are not saved is because they receive the honor of men.

How can men who receive honor from men be Christ's disciples? How can those who desire to make themselves of reputation, become disciples of the One who makes Himself of no reputation?

When a lost sinner comes to Christ, he comes ready to take his place outside the camp, bearing Christ's reproach.

To all men who believe, it is given to suffer. To all men who receive Christ, is promised tribulation. Therefore, those who love the praise of men more than the praise of God, cannot be saved, and those who would rather have man's approval than God's approval cannot be saved.
