Sanctifying grace, as well as pardoning mercy!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(\u201cEvery Day!\u201d Author unknown, 1872)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou shall call His name Jesus \u2014 for He shall save His people from their sins!\u201d Matthew 1:21<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus! Precious name, how sweet it is! How well it befits Him who bears it \u2014 and how glorious is the salvation which He accomplishes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misery is the natural consequence of sin. Everything that God enjoins is good \u2014 and everything that He forbids is evil. Jesus saves His people from their sins \u2014 and so saves them from misery. He died to atone for transgressions. He ever lives to save His people from the power and practice of sin \u2014 yes, and eventually from the very presence of sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My soul, let your whole trust be in Jesus, not only for deliverance from guilt and its consequences \u2014 but from sin in its manifold workings. You are powerless against your inward corruptions \u2014 but Jesus is \u201cmighty to save.\u201d He can subdue your iniquities. Trust Him then, for sanctifying grace, as well as pardoning mercy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwell much on all He did and suffered for you. In His agony in the garden of Gethsemane, and on the cross at Calvary \u2014 see something of the exceeding sinfulness of your sins, from which He died to save you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe will subdue our iniquities \u2014 and cast all our sins into the depths of the sea!\u201d Micah 7:19<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Jesus\u2019 blood, for sinners spilt,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Shows my sin in all its guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Ah, my soul, He bore your load,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 You have slain the Lamb of God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Farewell, world \u2014 your gold is dross!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Now I see the bleeding cross!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Jesus died to set me free,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 From the law, and sin, and thee!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
