Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? — Isaiah 36:18-19
The Bible tells of when a foreign king came to conquer Jerusalem under the reign of king Hezekiah.
Hezekiah was a good king and trusted God, encouraging his people to do so, too. The enemy tried to get them to give up by blurring the lines between their faith and that of others, saying they are all the same and all just as weak.
The same mantra is heard today — trying to get us think all faiths are the same, just as potent, just as weak.
They are not.
The Bible tells of God’s secret place, unknown by many.1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty … Surely he shall deliver thee … – Psalm 91:1-2a
That secret place has always been in Christ. The Old Testament saints trusted in the coming Christ who would save them, just as we look back to that same Christ who saves us. As Jesus said,
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. — John 8:56
Ours is a living faith in the living God and his Christ
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. — Revelation 11:14-16

Some think the best we can hope for is to live the best we can then find out later if it was good enough.
