Introdução
The question of greatest importance to you is, How do you treat My message? Upon your reception or rejection of it your eternal destiny depends.
They do not perceive the love of Christ, and they pass by the message of His grace as something that does not concern them.
While Christ is drawing the soul by His love, Satan tries to turn away the attention of the one who is moved to seek the Saviour.
Satan has many helpers. Many who profess to be Christians are aiding the tempter to catch away the seeds of truth from other hearts. Many who listen to the preaching of the word of God make it the subject of criticism at home. They sit in judgment on the sermon as they would on the words of a lecturer or a political speaker. The message that should be regarded as the word of the Lord to them is dwelt upon with trifling or sarcastic comment. The minister’s character, motives, and actions, and the conduct of fellow members of the church, are freely discussed. Severe judgment is pronounced, gossip or slander repeated, and this in the hearing of the unconverted. Often these things are spoken by parents in the hearing of their own children. Thus are destroyed respect for God’s messengers, and reverence for their message. And many are taught to regard lightly God’s word itself.
