“Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with
death will not stand.” Isaiah 28:18
In Isaiah 26 God gave the
blessed promise that those who died in Christ will live. Today He offers a
different message. As Isaiah had promised eternal life to all who by faith were
God’s children, he also announced that anyone who made a pact with the devil
was going to be sorely disappointed. Humanism teaches that man is just a part
of nature that exists and then doesn’t exist anymore. Death is the end of all
things so just don’t worry about it. Anything related to the hereafter is just
the product of religious delusion.
God wholeheartedly
disagrees. Such false doctrines as humanism are simply a pact made by fools
with the devil himself. God says that such a pact will not succeed. We cannot
ignore the reality of the future by simply declaring it null and void. God
doesn’t and neither can we. Through Jesus Christ, however, God does offer the
guarantee of eternal life to all who believe in Him.
Dear Father, Protect us
from foolishly believing in lies of the devil. Amen.
The Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
