Handbook 2: Article 35 - Teaching

"The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God."

Psalm 14:2

"The Lord is in His holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men, the Lord tests the righteous and the wicked..."

Psalm 11:4, 5

"There is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do."

Hebrews 4:13

What is God looking for? A checklist:

  • Any who understand or who seek after Him
  • Those who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth
  • Those who fear Him
  • Those who eagerly wait for His coming
  • Those who are faithful even unto death
  • Any who walk in His way
  • Those who tremble at His word
  • The humble and contrite of spirit
  • Those who work righteousness
  • Those who grieve about the abominations and lawlessness committed in His name
  • All whose hearts are completely His
  • Those who stand in obedience in the midst of rebellion
  • A place for His name to dwell
