The older we get and the less time we have here upon the earth to bear a faithful testimony to the beauty of holiness and to the mercy of Christ in rescuing undeserving sinners (like you and me), the more we tend to reflect upon what we have accomplished for Jesus Christ and what will happen after we have breathed our last breath. That is not for us to know. Our calling is to be faithful to the gospel and commandments of Jesus Christ while the Lord yet gives us breath. Will God's work continue to future generations? The Lord Jesus promises, "I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). That work is the Lord's, and He will complete what He has begun. As the Westminster Confession of Faith (25:5) teaches:. . . there shall be always a church on earth to worship God according to his will.Will there be persecution? Yes. Will there be backsliding? Yes. Will there be divisions? Yes. But in spite of whatever the enemy brings, the Lord's covenanted reformation will continue, whether by few or by many until "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11:9). Let us consider the following main points from our text today: (1) God Left in Israel a Faithful Remnant (1 Kings 19:15-18); (2) God Left in Israel a Faithful Minister (1 Kings 19:19-21).
