The Believer’s Position

The believer is perfect in Christ; but in himself he is a poor, feeble creature, ever liable to fall.

Oh, the unspeakable blessedness of having One who can manage all his affairs for him at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens; One who upholds him always by His right hand; One who will never let him go; One who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever;” One who will bear him through all the difficulties and dangers which surround him and finally present him faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. Blessed forever be the grace that has made such provision for all our need in the blood of a spotless victim and the intercession of a Divine High Priest!

Who And What We Preach

Two of my all-time favorite hymns are “Rock Of Ages,” and “Amazing Grace.”

Modern-day religion has taken the “Rock” out of their preaching, which has removed the “Amazing” from their grace.

Rest

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for THOU LORD ONLY makest me dwell in safety.” | Psalm 4: 8

Better than bars and locks is the protection of our Lord. Armed men kept the bed of Solomon; but we do not believe he slept more soundly than his father, David, whose bed was the hard ground, and who was hunted by evil men. Note the word “only” which means that God alone was his keeper; and that though alone, without man’s help, he was in good keeping; for he was, alone with God.

O Lord, give us calm repose on Thee that, like David, we may lie down in peace and sleep each night while we live and then joyfully lie down at that appointed time to sleep in death and rest in Christ.

Access to God With Confidence

‘In whom, (in Christ) we have boldness and access with confidence, by the faith of him.’ ~ Ephesians 3: 12

Do you see anything in the above short verse that claims that we do anything to make ourselves holy? It is in Christ that the believer has boldness to come to God for mercy, grace and help. (Hebrews 4: 16)

It is only in the Lord Jesus that we have access.

I was never required to call ahead for permission when I went to visit my parents. Why? I was their son. I never had to knock on their door to gain entry. I had a key! I had access. I had boldness and confidence that the key would open the door and that I was always welcome.

In Christ we have boldness and access with confidence, and do you see the cause of it? It is all by the faith of Him, the Lord Jesus Christ.

No, not faith in Him, but faith in what Christ my Lord, by His faithfulness to God, did for His elect in Him and for Him.

This is why we preach that salvation is in a Person, it is in Christ, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:7)

The Work of Grace

“Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.” | Isaiah 6: 5

The work of self-righteous religion cries, “Woe is men.”

The work of grace cries, “Woe is me! I am undone…”

The work of self-righteous religion cries, Isaiah 65: 5 “…stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou.”

The work of grace cries, Luke 18: 13 “And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.”

Lord, do a work of grace in me.

Being Ensamples to the Flock

“Someone once said, “Pharisees and Publicans both pour out their heart before God; the one is bragging, the other is begging.” Lord, make us to be beggars.’ ~ Unknown Author

To those who truly believe, those who have this precious faith, “HE IS PRECIOUS” (1 Peter 2: 7) This is one way I know that God has given me this faith. The faith which I have will not permit me to look to, trust in, rest upon, live upon, or have any hope in anyone but Christ, and Christ alone! Unto me “HE IS PRECIOUS!”

Preaching & Teaching Christ

One of Satan’s greatest devices to destroy saints is this, by making them first to be strange, (cut themselves off from other believers) and then to be bitter, and jealous, and then to bite and devour one another.

Christian, take heed!

“I’m not glad I sinned, but I’m glad I’m a sinner.”

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

~ Romans 5: 1-10

“My Sins Are Ever Before Me”

“My sins are ever before me,” we cry with the fathers.

What is to be done about my sins? It is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. It is evident that no man is justified by the law. The tears of Esau would not restore his birthright. The water of baptism left Simon Magus in the gall of bitterness. Judas’ confession that he had betrayed innocent blood only led him to suicide.

The wonderful works professed in Matthew 7 were called “works of iniquity” by Christ. “How can he be clean that is born of a woman?” Here is the answer: “HE (the Lord of glory) APPEARED (came to earth in flesh) TO PUT AWAY SIN (all sin–past, present, and future) BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF.”

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.” (I Peter 3: 18)

All Things Are Become New

“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” | 2 Corinthians 5: 14-17

The Lord Jesus Christ does not show blind men how to see. He gives them new eyes and they see Him!

The Lord Jesus Christ does not tell deaf men how to hear. He gives them new ears and they hear Him!

The Lord Jesus Christ does not beg lame men to walk. He gives them new legs and they leap as an hart, and follow Him!

All who are in Christ receive a new mind of repentance toward Him, a new will that bows to Him, a new heart that believes and loves Him.

Yes, If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature!
