Job said, “I know that my redeemer liveth.” Which of the two words should be of greater importance — my redeemer? The presumptuous person may claim the blessings based upon the fact that he has accepted the Redeemer as my Redeemer. The true believer embraces the promises as they are in Christ Jesus; He is […]

The gospel of God’s grace in Christ Jesus is not a thing to be proved, but a truth to be believed. It is not submitted to our reasoning powers as a subject for critical examination; but the gospel is a message from God, addressed to our conscience, feelings, and affections. For this reason, men fond […]

Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him. And there shall be. . . It is the delight of the believer, on the authority of the word of God, to think on what shall be. […]

THE TRUE CHARACTER OF UNBELIEF In all unbelief there are two things — a good opinion of one’s self and a bad opinion of God. Man’s good opinion of himself makes him think it quite possible to win God’s favor by his own religious performances; and his bad opinion of God makes him unwilling and […]

The law is lawfully used as a means of conviction of sin: for this purpose it was promulgated (established) at Sinai. The law entered, that sin might abound: not to make men more wicked, though occasionally and by abuse it has that effect, but to make them sensible how wicked they are. Having God’s law […]
