Christ has come from heaven. He has lived forever in heaven with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and he has come to earth to speak of what he has seen and heard.
Are you like that? You come and hear and listen to the teaching of the word of God and you kind of believe in something, but not the core of the message, the most important part – that you are a sinner, you need a Saviour, you’ve got to repent, to yield to him, you must have this new birth, and be truly converted – that part you don’t receive. It doesn’t matter whether you reject Christ furiously or whether you reject him politely – you still reject him, and you’re under condemnation. What a tragedy that in the midst of all the crowds, and the baptisms, we are told clearly by John, ‘no man receiveth his testimony.’
