To be entrusted with God's word is a great blessing, because God is giving us an opportunity to serve him, and serving our Creator makes our lives rich and meaningful. The Jews were entrusted with the word of God, but because of their lack of faith, they failed in their stewardship of the word and did not share God's word with the world. Yet God did not fail. God's word is true. Anyone who, in faith, takes hold of God's promise will be saved; and those who reject God's word through unbelief will be lost. God is faithful to do what he says he will do.
2. Who is responsible--me or God? (6-8)
Everyone who knows the truth and rejects it is responsible for his own rejection. We cannot blame God for our disobedience and unbelief.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your great faithfulness to keep your promise to save and your promise to judge. I come to you with no excuses, claiming only Jesus' righteousness. I believe your promises and seek your mercy.
