Too smart for heaven?
Dear Friends,
Are some people too “smart” for heaven? Could there be anything more stupid? Today’s devotional will explain. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Matthew 18:3-4
Matthew 18:3-4 English Standard Version (ESV)
3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:3-4
“…There are some who are too wise ever to believe. They read certain ‘high-class modern literature,’ and their minds have grown very expansive, and they know how to sort out that which is philosophical and that which is not. They can judge their Creator, they are more infallible than the Holy Ghost, they sit in trial upon prophets and apostles, and upon the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and they pick and choose what they will believe, and what they will reject. Such people do not believe to the saving of the soul; of course, they do not, for it is essential to faith that you become as a little child; and until you do so, you cannot have true faith in Christ.”
[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLIV, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1898), p. 488]
