He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
Note 15 at 1 Th. 4:8: To reject the moral appeal of Paul's message is, in reality, to reject God's message. When a minister is truly directed by the Lord, then it is God and not the man who is speaking (see note 4 at 1 Th. 2:13, p. 1230). We should not be so gullible that we accept every word that men speak. But we should not be so skeptical that we reject God when He speaks through men.
