But God’s true people have no concessions to make to such so called reformers. The religion of the Pharisees has no more place among God’s faithful children now than it had in Christ’s day. Humbling as it may be to their pride, the fact is that they have no contribution to make to God’s cause, neither do they have any real intention of adding the true gospel to their movement. The living gospel can never be accepted conditionally. Truth is to be accepted for no other reason than that it is the truth. No honor is accorded to the gospel when people declare that they will be lieve it provided the bearer of the truth meets them halfway by accepting their teachings. That is an insult to God’s Word, for it manifests a human pride and arrogance which is an abomina tion to the Lord. Today, God likewise expects His people, to whom He has giv en the last warning message, to refuse to make any compromise with other movements whose origins are the product of human devising. Living truth does not come through such companies, for God does not use as His channel those who follow human procedures for building His work.
