“They will say of Me, ‘Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength.’ People will come to Him, And all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.” — Isaiah 45:24 (NASB)
Today, although many people follow different religions, most of them do not do so through personal knowledge or spiritual experience. Instead, they believe in and worship God merely in the way their parents taught them.
As a result, many have no real spiritual experience or divine awareness. Out of rigid tradition and the faith instilled in childhood, people continue to worship without truly knowing God. But it is essential that we know and experience Him personally. We must grow in the wisdom that leads us to truly know God.
But many do not accept Him. Those who have realized Christ as the true God accept Him and follow Him with devotion.
There is a great difference between worshiping God with understanding and worshiping Him without it. The Samaritan woman whom Jesus met was one who worshiped without true understanding. Therefore, Jesus said to her,
“You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.” — John 4:22 (NASB)
Today’s verse further declares:
“All who were angry at Him will be put to shame.”
Yes, beloved, even today we hear many testimonies about this truth. Those who once burned Bible with anger against Christ and worked against Him have later been touched by His love and have come to Him, boldly testifying of their transformation. From Sadhu Sundar Singh to this day, many have said, “Once, I could not bear to see the Bible; I even burned it in anger — and now I am ashamed of what I did.”
In the past, nations like Russia and China were like iron fortresses where Christianity could not enter. Yet today, these same countries have begun to allow the Bible within their borders. Even in some Arab nations, many are embracing Christianity — with some Muslims testifying that Christ revealed Himself to them through dreams.
Indeed, beloved, as today’s verse declares, “Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength.” Those who once opposed Him have come to realize this truth. The verse also reminds us that “all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.” God gives every person an opportunity to know the truth. Those who reject it stubbornly will one day stand ashamed before Him.
It is not enough for us to merely bear the name “Christian.” Unless we truly know the Lord — recognizing that in Him alone are righteousness and strength — we too may stand ashamed on the final day. Only when we know Him and live in His truth will we be among the sheep of His fold.
Jesus said: “I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.” — John 10:16 (NASB)
Those who live without recognizing His righteousness and power are the sheep outside the fold — yet even they, Jesus says, will one day hear His voice.
Today’s meditation verse confirms the same truth in Jesus’ words:
“They will say of Me, ‘Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength.’ People will come to Him.”
Let us therefore examine ourselves and see where we stand. For if we do not come to the Lord and belong to His fold, we too shall be put to shame on the final day.
