A Confident God And A Comforted People

”But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” | Isaiah 43: 1

Salvation is of God’s grace, not of your merit; it is of God’s goodness, not of your holiness; you have nothing to do but to rest on what Christ has done.

Grace Alone

“To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” | Acts 10: 43

I can understand how men and women, who have never read or heard the Word of God preached, can look to and depend on their works and self-righteousness to make them acceptable before God; for such things seem logical to the natural mind which knows nothing of God, sin, righteousness, and divine holiness.

But I cannot understand how any person who has read the Scriptures can fail to see that salvation is by grace alone through the merits and death of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Justification by Faith

”Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?” | Romans 7: 1

It has been said that a church either stands or falls by the blessed truth of justification by faith and their view of it, and their stand on it.

Faith is the opposite of works, faith is not doing but believing, faith has to do with resting in Christ and His obedience and His righteousness.

Faith is the means of our justification: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” (Romans 5: 1)

Faith receives the truth of the gospel the merits of Christ. Faith receives the doing and dieing of the Lord Jesus Christ: “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” (Romans 3: 28)

Faith is not its own object; those who have been given faith do not look to their faith but to Christ who is the object of their faith.

We know there is no merit in our faith but in our Savior.

Christ is faiths object and it is based on knowledge: “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10: 13-14)

Faith is based on God’s word, it is believing with the heart.

Faith is based on trust, on commitment.

We don’t trust our faith we trust the Lord Jesus.

We don’t trust our feelings, we trust our Master who lived for us as our representative before God, and who died as our substitute bearing our sin away to a place where God doesn’t see it.

We don’t trust our knowledge or our intellect, we trust Him who has infinite knowledge of us.

Oh, what comfort in knowing He knows us, that all is open and naked with him and that even though He knows us as we are our Justification is sure and secure, because it is what He did for us.

We change, but not Him, our faith sometimes is so weak and feeble but He is our strength.

Listen! “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by THE FAITH JESUS CHRIST, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the Faith Of Christ” (Galatains 2: 16)

True Unity

”Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” | Ephesians 4: 3

Child of God, endeavor to keep the unit of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psalm 133: 1)

Whatever differences we may have in the flesh, (Race, Culture, Language, Politics, Personalities) they are not only insignificant but irrelevant to our unity in Christ Jesus.

Our Lord prayed, “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” (John 17: 21)

What a powerful testimony it is to the unbeliever to see that we all believe the same thing concerning the Lord Jesus and His successful work of redeeming His people, and that our conviction concerning the gospel causes us to overlook all other differences.

Rest From Thy Sorrow

“And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,” | Isaiah 14: 3

May we have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones, knowing that “…the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow;”

Christ The Lamb

“And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” | Genesis 22: 7

When the Gospel is preached, there is one thing that one will always hear… Christ the Lamb.

This is the acid test of a true God centered message.

Without a doubt, there are many things that may be preached which in themselves are good. I don’t know many folks that are not against drugs, immorality, abortions, or any other such thing, but these things are not the issue.

The issue is the glory of Christ — His work, His holiness, and His satisfaction of the law!

When any man stands up to preach, let this test be set upon the words that you hear: “Where’s the Lamb?”

If I don’t hear Him, I haven’t heard the only message that the Holy Ghost will bless to the salvation of a sinner.

Oh! Sweet Grace, Blessed Grace!

”And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” | Ephesians 2: 6-9

We are saved by grace, free grace, rich grace, sovereign grace, distinguishing grace without one atom of works, without one grain of creature merit, without anything of the flesh.

Oh! Sweet grace, blessed grace!

Oh! what a help, what a strength, what a rest for a poor toiling, striving, laboring soul to find that grace has done all the work, to feel that grace has triumphed in the cross of Christ, to find that nothing is required, nothing is needed, nothing is to be done!

Lord I Believe, Help My Unbelief

”And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” | Mark 9: 21-24

Before this man believed, he was not aware of his unbelief.

It was not until he believed that he saw the power of his unbelief.

This is the continued cry of the believer, “Lord, I believe.”

The new man believes.

He cannot not believe and it is the new man that is painfully aware of the unbelief of the old man, “Help thou mine unbelief.” — ‘I cannot do anything about it, and I am asking you to help me!’

The new man always believes and the old man never does.

But there will be no unbelief in heaven because the old man will not be there!

The old man was condemned and put away on the cross, and in heaven the believer will never have to deal with him again.

Glorious Restitution

”But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.” | Isaiah 42: 22

The problem with sinners is not that we are unwilling to do something to save ourselves but that we are unwilling to do nothing that we might be saved by another.

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” (John 3: 19-20)

Faith takes nothing from you, faith takes nothing done by you, faith demands you add nothing, only believe and continue believing, not in anything you have done or not done.

Faith is casting your care, your whole self, your whole eternal salvation into the hands of Jesus Christ.
