Our navigation must be rooted in the truth of the Rock of our salvation, for without it, we risk being crushed by that very same Rock. Due to distorted unbelief in the revealed Word of God, the Rock of salvation becomes a rock of stumbling and ruin for many. As foretold, He will be a sanctuary to some, yet a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, causing many to fall, be broken, snared, and taken. The Holy can be either a Hiding Place or a Boulder blocking the way, standing as a barrier in the willful path of those who do not fear Him. To those who sanctify Him, He becomes a wall of Holiness and a place of refuge, surrounding them like temple walls, hiding them in Himself while death and tribulation reign outside. Yet, for the wicked who do not fear Him, He is the occasion for their destruction, a stone over which they stumble and fall. The Rock of salvation will become a rock of offense to any who are not living the true Word of God, an absolute truth from the mouth of God. To those called into the body of Christ, the opportunity and responsibility are given to hear and obey, ensuring that Jesus Christ remains the Rock of salvation rather than a rock of offense. If we drift from His Word, confusion arises, leading to division and conflict, but returning to the Word and devotion to Him can restore unity. By trusting in the power of God and applying His Word daily, we dwell together within the Rock of our salvation, united in love. If we fail to believe and hallow Him through our outward love for one another, we risk turning the Rock of our salvation into a rock of offense before men and God. We must be among those faithfully living His Word together, ready to serve with Him in His glory at His return, so that others may truly know the Rock of their salvation.
