Every
child of fallen Adam must, through the transforming grace of
Christ, become obedient to all God's requirements. Many close their
eyes to the plainest teachings of His Word because the cross stands
directly in the way. If they lift it, they must appear singular in the
eyes of the world; and they hesitate and question and search for some
excuse whereby they may shun the cross. Satan is ever ready, and he
presents plausible reasons why it would not be best to obey the Word of
God just as it reads. Thus souls are fatally deceived.
