But God!

”And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.” | Ruth 3: 9

You could have been passed by. Multitudes were.

But God loved you, and chose you to be an heir of eternal glory.

You could have been left under the curse of the law to bear the penalty of your sin. Multitudes were.

But God made his Son to be sin for you and redeemed you.

You could have been left in your lost, ruined condition. Multitudes were.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)” (Ephesians 2: 4-5)

But God!

Done, Done, Done

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” | John 19: 30

Had God but laid the foundations, and left it unto us to complete the superstructure, He had as well done nothing.

But “done, done, done,” is replete with joy; it leaves me nothing else to do than sing my thankfulness.

He has not merely put me in a salvable condition but saved me — not merely made reconciliation a possibility but reconciled me unto Himself — not merely put me on a road that leads to heaven but guaranteed my reaching there.

He would be a fool for his presumption, who should call all to hear what had only been commenced by God, but was dependent for completion on his own exertions, but he on the other hand is a traitor to his Father’s glory, who holds his peace concerning what his God has done.

A religion of the two letters, DO, can never be a religion of song, but a religion of the four letters, DONE, is a religion that need never want its accompaniment of praise.

See to it then, that in salvation’s anthem this note of divine completeness ring loud and clear.

What A Saviour!

“Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:” | Galatians 1: 1-4

Believer, what a Saviour God has provided for His people!

The Almighty God, yet all tender Saviour and Shepherd!

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1: 1)

“I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” (John 10: 11)

How well fitted is He to be our Great High Priest. “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.” (Hebrews 2: 17)

How sufficient is He to supply our every need. “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” (Colossians 2: 9-10)

How complete His wisdom and grace to provide for us perfect atonement and full justification from all sin. “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.” (Hebrews 9: 12)

May God be pleased to give us a greater love, adoration, and reverence for our Saviour and Lord.

We love to sing, “Hallelujah! what a Saviour, who can take a poor lost sinner, lift him from the miry clay, and set him free!”

COMPLETE IN HIM

“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” | Colossians 2: 10

If someone like me is complete, I know I must be complete only in Christ.

Everything about me is incomplete.

My faith is incomplete.

My repentance is incomplete.

My enjoyment of peace is incomplete. My love is incomplete.

My experience is incomplete.

Yet I am, right now, complete in Christ.

It is not that I will be complete one day, but I am complete right now because the Lord Jesus Christ completed the work of salvation for me and in me.

Clinging To Christ

Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die.

Being a depraved sinner, what can I do to impress God? What can I offer or bring to the Sovereign that would cause Him to be mindful of me?

Can I do a work of righteousness that would grip His attention? No, I am dead in trespasses and sin and I can do nothing!

Am I to offer Him my heart? No, my heart is “deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.” (Jeremiah 17: 9)

If He would desire to look into the deep recesses of my mind would He find anything worthy of His mercy? No, nothing is there but carnality and enmity.

The Old hymn writer, Augustus Toplady concerning chosen and saved sinners rightfully penned, “In my hand no price I bring.” Why? Because we are nothing, we have nothing, and we can do nothing that would cause God to be merciful to us.

So what is a sinner to do?

SIMPLY CLING to the Christ of the cross.

Everything God required of His people Christ provided for them.

Truly He is the Rock of Ages.

He That Glorieth, Let Him Glory in the Lord

“Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy Truth’s sake.” | Psalm 115: 1

The true test of whether the Gospel you trust in is THE GOSPEL can be answered by one simple question:

Does God get all the glory or does man?

The true Gospel ALWAYS glorifies God in the person and work of His Son! God’s Gospel gives glory to His wisdom, His power, His mercy, His grace, His love and most importantly HIS SON!

A false gospel will always in some way credit something to man. But the Word of God is clear that “No flesh should glory in His presence.” (I Corinthians 1: 29)

“That according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” (I Corinthians 1: 31)

The True Grace of God

When things spin out of our control, when well-laid plans, indeed, go awry, when carefully crafted back-up plans blow up in our faces, and all that we had expected to happen vaporizes into what actually happens, we are reminded that it is God’s will and not ours that shall be done, and we are humbled into our proper place and God is exalted to His proper place.

“Our God is in the heavens, He has done whatsoever pleased Him.”

And that is good.

The Unsearchable Riches of Christ!

The song says:

“O, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
Precious, more precious than gold!”

Christ, Himself, is the riches.

When He gave Himself, He gave all the riches of heaven.

To have nothing but Him, is to have all. And to have everything without Him, is to have nothing.
