We read in the Bible, “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them” (Genesis 1:27-28). God created man the highest and noblest of His creation, “The Lord God . . . breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). He expects man to serve and praise Him. “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” (Revelation 4:11). Therefore, His creatures should worship Him, and Him only, “Worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24).

On the “Jesus Christ Way”? or the “way of the flesh”? Jesus Christ’s Way is the narrow way. It leads to heaven. In heaven there will be no sorrow nor pain, but joy and consolation together with Jesus and the holy angels. The way of the flesh is the broad way. It leads to destruction—to hell, where there will be pain, weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

One day when Jesus was walking with his disciples, He asked them who He was (Matthew 16:15). Peter said to Jesus, “You are Christ, the Son of the living God.” Then Jesus told Peter that God had told him this, and upon this rock, Jesus would build His church. This rock is the confession of faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Saviour of this world (Matthew 16:16-18). The power of Satan will not be sufficient to destroy this Church.

All people everywhere desire and hope to have the nice things for their life. Everyone would like to have fine food, and enough to share with friends and guests; proper clothing, and enough to change often, especially for the different occasions; a good house, strong and large enough, with a roof good for all seasons. We also hope to have on hand an amount of money to meet all expenses, for our business, or medicine in case of illness, and even enough to travel to see our friends in another city.

It was the day I received an empty envelope from my uncle that I knew the value of a letter - the envelope was well addressed, with the proper postage stamp, but there was nothing inside. We all receive letters from time to time, and yet, little do we realize the spiritual lesson we can learn from letters. Before we take our letters to the Post Office we must have gotten (apart from the ink and paper) an envelope as well as a stamp (or the money for it) ready.

God has always had His spokesmen in this world. They have been called prophets, priests, judges, elders, ministers, and pastors, and many others, bearing no special credentials. The Words of God these men carried conveyed God’s Truth to the people, even though sometimes the people did not like their messages. In spite of afflictions, imprisonments, and even tortures, God’s messengers, regardless of their names, have been sounding His warnings faithfully.
