Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 1:16-21 (day five).
It’s one of the things I love most about FBCSA- the regard and affinity for the scriptures. Re:Verse is just one example. Peter had this same perspective. This written message from the prophets and apostles was and would be of the utmost importance AND authority. I found these comments from Charles Spurgeon this week very enlightening:
“Do not say that you would accept (God’s) call if it was spoken with a voice rather than written; you know that it is not so in daily life. If a man receives a written letter from his father or friend, does he attach less importance to it than he would have done to his spoken communication? I reckon that many of you in business are quite content to get written orders for goods, and when you get them, you do not require a purchaser to ask you in person, you would just assume that he should not; in fact, you commonly say that you would like to have it in black and white. Is it not so? Well, then you have your wish, here is the call in black-and-white: and I do but speak, according to common sense, when I say, if the Lord‘s call to you be written in the Bible, and it certainly is, you do not speak truth when you say, ‘I would listen to it if it was spoken, but I cannot listen to it because it is written.’ The call as given by the book of inspiration ought to have over your minds a masterly power, and if your hearts were right before God that word spoken in the scriptures by the Holy Ghost would be at once obeyed.“
