Whoso Walketh Wisely, He Shall Be Delivered

“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” | Proverbs 28: 26

The apostle Paul was moved of the Holy Spirit to write to the church at Ephesus that they were to, “walk as children of light”.

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:” (Ephesians 5: 8)

As I thought upon this passage, my mind was made to consider, “How does a child of light walk?”

Well, he walks as a needy sinner who was mercifully rescued from the bondage of sin as Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus… he walks, by faith, as a needy sinner who is being kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time… and finally comes to the end of his days, as a needy sinner, with the same cry of faith that Peter gave when he saw the wind boisterous and was afraid and began to sink and cried, saying, “Lord, save me.”

Children Of Light Walking In A Dark World

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” | Ephesians 5: 15-17

There is hope for thee.

God has prepared a salvation for His elect, chosen by Him not because of any goodness in them, but because He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy, and will have compassion on whom He will have compassion.

Is this not a salvation that will suit thee, O poor sinner?

If God had chosen them out of any merit, or if that choice depended on anything which men did or could do, thou wert a damned soul, for thou hast no goodness, and thou canst do nothing.

If God’s election comes to those who are without merit, without hope, without strength, there is hope for thee

What God’s People Glory In

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” | Galatians 6: 14

CHRIST is more than a Saviour; He is salvation itself!

David said, “The Lord is my light and my salvation.”

It is well to see salvation in the work, life, and death of Christ; but we must never forget that the essence of salvation lies in His Person.

HE HIMSELF IS SALVATION!

It is WHO He is which gives virtue to WHAT He does.

We are bidden to come, not to His work, but to HIMSELF.

The gospel loses much of its sweetness when the Person of Christ is put in the background and honor given only to His work.
