"How can ye believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?.... Moses... wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?" (John 5:44-47).
There are two obstacles so great,
Which Jesus Christ reproved,
That saving faith is made to wait
Until they are removed.
The first is in the lust to hear
Approving men applaud,
So much so that there is no fear
Nor honor left for God.
The second obstacle we see
To which our Lord referred,
Is lack of the integrity
To search God's holy Word.
How indeed can they believe
Who never have been stirred
To turn to God and thus perceive
The truth within His Word?
