Elijah’s appeal to the undecided
“How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: if Baal, then follow him.”Suggested Further Reading:
I insist that it is your bounden duty, if you believe in God, simply because he is God, to serve him and obey him. I do not tell you it is for your advantage—it may be, I believe it is—but that I put aside from the question; I demand of you that you follow God, if you believe him to be God.
If you do not think he is God; if you really think that the devil is God, then follow him; his pretended godhead shall be your plea, and you shall be consistent; but if God be God, if he made you, I demand that you serve him; if it is he who puts the breath into your nostrils, I demand that you obey him.
If God be really worthy of worship, and you really think so, I demand that you either follow him, or else deny that he is God at all. Now, professor, if thou sayest that Christ’s gospel is the only gospel, if thou believest in the divinity of the gospel, and puttest thy trust in Christ, I demand of thee to follow out the gospel, not merely because it will be to thy advantage, but because the gospel is divine.
If his gospel be true, and thou believest it to be true, it is thy duty to carry it out.
If thou makest a profession of being a child of God, if thou art a believer, and thinkest and believest religion is the best, the service of God most desirable, I do not come to plead with thee because of any advantage thou wouldst get by being holy; it is on this ground that I put it, that the Lord is God; and if he be God, it is thy business to serve him.For meditation:
Four things God will not accept—hypocrisy (Luke 6:46),
half-heartedness (Luke 9:59-62),
double-mindedness (James 1:6-8)
and lukewarmness (Revelation 3:15,16).
