Some Works Continue Under The Best Of Circumstances
Some works continue under the best of circumstances when the unfaithful who have lost their love for the truth and those who uphold it leave. Consider what John said, “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us” (I John 2:19).
And what did they lose? They lost those who loved the world and things of the world (cf. I John 2:15). They lost “brethren” who will hate a Christian like the world does (cf. I John 2:13, 15). These are in fact, and proven by their conduct to be, children of the Devil (cf. I John 3:4, 8, 10). They lost those who would not listen to the truth, who spoke as the world speaks, and whom the world is more than willing to listen to! They were liars who no longer could speak the truth (cf. I John 4:5-6).
When they left the bitter envying, strife, boasting against the truth, lying against the truth and all the confusion that came from the earthly, sensual, devilish wisdom they possessed left with them! (cf. James 3:14-16).
