Yours, in deep sympathy with all the sick and the bereaved. I have no sort of sympathy with those who cannot enjoy the beauties of nature. On, that you would know and feel your dependence upon the Holy Ghost that he may prompt the once crucified but now ascended Redeemer that this gift of the Spirit, this promise of the Father, is shed abroad upon men. The having those corruptions is our crime which should be confessed as an enormous evil; and if I, as a minister of the gospel, do not press home the sin of the thing, I have missed what is the very virus of it. We cannot be destroyed. III. So we are persuaded of these three things: first, that God loves us; next, that God has shown his love to us by the gift of his Son Jesus Christ; and then, that his divine love comes streaming down to us because we are in Christ, and are loved for his sake. Well, if not in this text, there is in another. We have received a divine life, by which we are made partakers of the divine nature, having "escaped the corruption which is in the world through lust." Here are beings that know evil, and know also good, beings placed under infinite obligations by bonds of love and gratitude to choose for ever the good, beings with a nature so renewed that they always must be holy beings; and these beings can commune with the incarnate God upon spurring as angels cannot, upon the penalty of guilt as angels cannot; upon heart-throes, conflicts, reproaches, and brokenness of spirit as angels cannot: and to them the Lord Jesus can reveal the glory of holiness, the bliss of conquering sin, and the sweetness of benevolence as only they can comprehend them. He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth; he bears up the pillars of the universe; his breath perfumes the flowers; his pencil paints them; he is the author of this fair creation; "we are the sheep of his pasture; he hath made us, and not we ourselves." He would not be there if he were a debtor. None but he hath a right to condemn, for he is the sole judge of right and wrong, and if he hath died shall he put us to death, and if he hath risen for us, shall he thrust us downwards to the pit, and if he hath reigned for us and hath been accepted for us, shall he cast us away, and if he hath pleaded for us, shall he curse us at the last? 16-18. Delivered on Sabbath Morning, October 7th, 1860, by the.

Dost thou love to pay him homage? Looking upon the world with the mere eye of sense and reason, we say, "Yes, all things work, but they work contrary to one another. Let us go on believing and repenting, as we have done; but let us not have to begin believing and begin repenting, let us go on to something beyond that stage of experience. Upon this supposition, God's utmost has been tried, and has failed. Note the expression, "Many brethren" not that he might be the firstborn among many, but among "many brethren," who should be like himself. We have bulwarks, none of which can possibly be stormed, but when combined they are so irresistible, they could not be carried, though earth and hell should combine to storm them. How are we to judge between them? Hope operated spiritually upon our spiritual faculties, and so does the Holy Spirit, in some mysterious way, divinely operate upon the new-born faculties of the believer, so that he is sustained under his infirmities. The world has always been in a crisis, but this seems to use to be a peculiar one. His death was the digging of the well of salvation. My illustrations do not touch the mystery, but set forth the grace. How shall the heir of God be content till he rests on his Father's bosom, and is filled with all the fulness of God? First, we think we should learn a lesson of humility. I have done when I have called your attention to one more thing. It is, I say, first, because of our unbelief; and secondly, because of the tremendous attacks our faith has to endure, that God has been pleased to lay down four strong consolations, with which we may fortify our hearts whenever the sky is overcast, or the hurricane is coming forth from its place. There is such a thing on earth as an infallible assurance of our election. Bblia; Leia a Bblia; Verses da Bblia; . God dwelleth in us, and we are one with Christ.

There is a result to come of it of the best kind. "Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man" (Proverbs 8:4 ). It has been the good pleasure of the Lord to bless my "Personal Notes On a Text" to many of His tried and afflicted people, and to make them messengers of comfort in hours of sorrow or darkness. You have walked on, and on, and on, and there has hitherto always been something beneath your footfall; but the next step may precipitate you into the abyss. Well did the apostle say of this "much more much more than dying and rising again from the dead, he lives at the right hand of God.". Ye are young brides, and the marriage day is not come, and by the love your spouse bears you, you are led to long and to sigh for the marriage day. He was happy enough in the bosom of his father's household, but idolatry crept into it, and when God called Abraham, he called him alone and blessed him out of Ur of the Chaldees, and said to him, "Go forth, Abraham!" All the saints make up one body in Christ, who is the Head of the body, and the common Centre of their unity. ", But, conscience, I have another question! Reach the bottom of Christ's sea of joy, and then hope to understand the bliss which God hath prepared for them that love him. When I think of my sin, it seems impossible that any atonement should ever be adequate; but when I think of Christ's death it seems impossible that any sin should ever be great enough to need such an atonement as that. I have had many troubles that thou reckest not of, I have buried all my kindred, and I am like the last oak of the forest, all my friends have been felled by death long ago. The debt is paid, and Christ is at the right hand of God. We would stand upon our watch-tower and cry aloud to the Strong for strength, that the adversary may be repelled, that the sacred castle of our heart may be for the habitation of Jesus, and Jesus alone. We have not yet the royal robes which become the princes of the blood; we are wearing in this flesh and blood just what we wore as the sons of Adam; but we know that when he shall appear who is the "first born among many brethren," we shall be like him; that is, God will dress us all as he dresses his eldest son "We shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." God's Spirit now rules in your life and he has made you free. What would the Jew have thought if it had been possible for a seat to have been introduced into the sanctuary, and for the high priest to sit down? We may say of the prayers which the Holy Spirit works in us that they are prayers of knowledge. And I see him look downwards; there lies the old dragon, bound in chains, the accuser of the brethren; and the apostle stares him in the face, and says, "Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?" He goes on to say, "Heirs of God;" for if they are heirs they inherit their Father's property. What a broad assertion it is. May not this electrify a man of joy, and make him dance for very mirth? Here is A CHALLENGE TO ALL COMERS. But I repeat it, this universal call is rejected by man; it is a call, but it is not a attended with divine force and energy of the Holy Spirit in such a degree as to make it an unconquerable call, consequently men perish, even though they have the universal call of the gospel ringing in their ears. And he just paraphrased it in his own dialect like this "My arm is always strong, and my sickle always sharp, when there is no harvest, and I think I could mow many an acre when there is no grass; but when the harvest is on I am weak, and when the grass groweth then my scythe is blunt." Would you refuse to go with him to the garden of his agony? Let me suppose an impossible case for a moment. True, many things are yet in the future, but even at this present moment, we have obtained an inheritance; we have already in our possession a heritage divine which is the beginning of our eternal portion. Thou movest about this world as a prince among the crowd. He first of all stirred up their pure minds by way of remembrance as to their sonship, for saith he "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Can those eyes flash lightnings on the man whom once they saw in sin, and thence with rays of love they did lift him up to joy, and peace, and purity? I will have one more illustration. Let me imagine a man entering heaven without a change of heart. So with the child; you may bind him with the green withes of education, you may do what you will with him, since you cannot change his heart, that carnal mind shall still be at enmity against God; and notwithstanding intellect, talent, and all you may give to boot, it shall be of the same sinful complexion as every other child, if not as apparently evil; for "the carnal mind is enmity against God.". God forbid! We remember to be grateful to all except our God. "Who is he that condemneth? He gave to us his heaven, for "where I am, there shall my people be." And he came before his Father's throne and said, "There it is; the full price: I have brought it all." Do I have fellowship with Christ? "Put your right hand here, my boy, and place your left hand so. Still, true as it is that we are free agents, yet the Lord is the potter and we are the clay upon the wheel, and it is his work, and not ours, that makes us like to Christ. This is the grandest message of the gospel, that "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures." The call of our text is of a different kind; it is not a universal call, it is a special, particular, personal, discriminating, efficacious, unconquerable, call. God bless you, ye sons of God, and may those of you who are strangers to him, be convinced and converted by this sermon, and seek that grace by which alone you can have your prayer fulfilled: Delivered on Sunday Morning, July the 28th, 1861 by the, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington, THE APOSTLE has proceeded through a simple but exceedingly forcible train of reasoning till he gains this glorious point "Joint heirs with Christ." Nay, his law never asked for more than human righteousness divine. It was said of king Cyrus, that he was a prince of so amiable a disposition, that when at any time he sat down at meat, if there were aught that pleased his appetite, he would order it to be taken away and given to his friends with this message, "King Cyrus found that this food pleased his palate, and he thought his friend should feed upon that which he enjoyed himself." Oh, it is no hard task to plead, when you are pleading with a Father for a brother, and when the advocate can say, "I go to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God." You think you can do wondrous things; you say. Would you take Job's jewels, but not his dung-hill? ", Observe then, first of all, the universality of this as to all persons. We shall overcome and sit down with him upon his throne. Fain would I picture the apostle as he appeared when he was uttering it. How seriously, then, should each stand and think. If the wings of the Eternal are thy shelter, what plague can attack thee? Here I find it written in the Scriptures, "The carnal mind is enmity against God;" and that of itself is enough for me. Beloved, are ye brothers of Christ, and do ye think that ye owe him no love? The signature of the one will not avail to alienate the estate, nor can he sell it by his own right, nor have it all at his own separate disposal, or in his own sole possession or holding. I have broken away from its thralldom; the new law, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, the law of grace has set me free from the domination of the law of sin and death. The desires which the Spirit prompts may be too spiritual for such babes in grace as we are actually to describe or to express, and yet the Spirit writes the desire on the renewed mind, and the Father sees it. There once was chaos and confusion, but the Holy Spirit brooded over all, and His mind is the originator of that beautiful arrangement which we so admire in the visible creation. 19. He went about his Father's business; so should we ever be occupied. We are like Jacob looking at the wagons, and the more we look at the wagons, the more we long to see Joseph's face; but our groaning after Jesus is a blessed groan, for. In the volume of the Book it is written of him: "I delight to do thy will, O my God! 5. The promises are yea and amen to thee, but only in Christ Jesus, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh at things after the counsel of his own will. II. He has to intercede with his Father, and mark, with our Father too. But there are times when the heir of heaven is as sure that he is God's child as he is sure that he is his own father's son. Paul says, "Who can lay anything to my charge?" He starts! III. Is he omniscient? Christ will not belie himself. So the Spirit confirms the witness of my spirit that I am born of God. There is no getting away from yourself, and when you yourself condemn yourself, then you are condemned indeed. This sitting at the right hand of God, then, is to be viewed as the acceptance of the person of the surety, the reception of the representative, and therefore, the acceptance of our souls. all his wisdom is engaged in our behalf. Every priest stands daily ministering and offering sacrifice for sin. What was to be done? Jesus Christ is coming in to call some one, for it is written he must abide in some man's house. The traveller has reached the hospice. First, we are to be conformed to him as to our nature. If this be his ardent love of the Godhead, what must his hatred thereof be? The apostle then turns to a third source of comfort, namely, the abiding of the Holy Spirit in and with the Lord's people. We know what to pray for as to objects, but we do not know what to pray for "as we ought" it is the manner of the prayer which perplexes us, even when the matter is decided upon. The arch enemy, the old dragon, was always nibbling at the heel of our great Michael, who has for ever crushed his head. Bible > Romans > Chapter 8 > Verse 35 Library Free Downloads eBibles Romans 8:35 So it may by possibility be this morning; so it will be if the Spirit of God shall be our instructor, and fulfil his gracious promise to "lead us into all truth.". But our Lord has told us that greater works than his own shall we do, because he is gone to his Father; and these greater works we do. It is simply "Look!" Remarks on Beecher's Life of Christ. What a debtor thou art to Divine Sovereignty! True, we do confess that accusation; but then there is a great sacrifice, for he that came to save us, laid down his life for us; and greater sacrifice than this could never be. Our apostle, in the epistle to the Hebrews, puts a very strong encomium upon this sentence. In too many instances ministers of religion has propagated doubt, and the result is a general hardening of the popular feeling, and a greatly-increased neglect of public worship. "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand not of works, but of him that calleth; It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. The Spirit of God found us in our low estate, and quickened us without outward display. So it is with your children when they look forward to their holidays; they are not unhappy or dissatisfied with the school, but yet they long to be at home. This one thing I know, I am sure that there is nothing in those heights that can separate me from the love of Christ; I will stick to that, whatever revelations there may be to the enthusiastic, whatever raptures and ecstasies and extreme delights any may have, they cannot separate me from Christ. "It is Christ that died," becomes both his sword and his shield; and when the dread conflict is over, and even while it is raging, he sings, "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.". You must endure persecution; but then, remember, he will be joint heir with you. You quenched conscience. Remember the bloody day of St. Bartholomew, the valleys of Piedmont, and the mountains of Switzerland. If we be not debtors to the present, then men were never debtors to their age and their time. I. But why is this? Prayer is a great outlet for grief; it draws up the sluices, and abates the swelling flood, which else might be too strong for us. The effectual call may be illustrated in its sovereignty by the case of Zaccheus. I conjure thee, give no sleep to thine eyes, no slumber to thine eyelids, till by this divine mysterious agency, thou art new made, new born, and new begotten, and so admitted not only nominally but really into the living family of the living God. If we could say this morning, that all the stars belong to us; if we could turn the telescope to the most remote of the fixed stars, and then could say with the pride of possession, so natural to man, "That star, a thousand times bigger than the sun, is mine. The world is a great machine, but it is never standing still: silently all through the watches of the night, and through the hours of day, the earth revolveth on its axis, and works out its predestinated course. The Spirit teaches wisely, as no other teacher can do. Some do not believe in the personality of the devil; but I am as sure of it as I am of the personality of his children who deny their own father. Yea, thy law is within my heart. I imagine that he said, "I promised to go back, and though it is to pangs indescribable, I will return." Yes, I know that it was so; and Christ, to meet my sin against knowledge brings a sacrifice offered with his own full knowledge of all that it involved. They are his own intercession in some respects, for we read that the Holy Spirit not only helps us to intercede but "maketh intercession." When Christ was God's heir, and was here on earth, he was heir of the cross, heir of shame, and spitting, and cruel mockings, and scourgings. If ye be partakers of that glorious hope, if ye be believers in our glorious Redeemer, if ye have put your trust under the shadow of his wings, my hand and my heart with it, there is that word "brother" for you. We generally receive more comfort at the cross than we do at the empty sepulchre. Oh, how sweet it is to believe our names were on Jehovah's heart, and graven on Jesus' hands before the universe had a being! How could they have been the sons of God before, for "to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name, who were born not of blood," then they were not make the sons of God by mere creation "nor of the will of the flesh," that is to say, not by any efforts of their own "but of God." That bereavement is working for thy good. What contrasts we have in the seventh verse! Provision for Christian living is in the Person of the Holy Spirit. God hath not forsaken us; the tokens of his goodness are with us, and we may rejoice in full many a gracious boon which is ours this very day. This seems to me to be one material argument for the salvation of the believer Christ sits in heaven. and he went forth, not knowing whither he went. At least, they seem to have lost their first love to him far sooner than they did to his servant. I always find when I have to deal with these "fat things full of marrow," that words fail us; and perhaps it is well, for then the excellency of the power is proved to be not by words of man but in the weight, and fullness, and richness of gospel matter. Let any man hear and judge. Be persuaded of that truth, and you are indeed happy men and happy women; what more could you wish to say than to be able truthfully to say that? There is no terror to him like the terror of the cross. If, after having ploughed this ground, and sown it, and after it has been watered by the dew and rain of heaven, no good harvest ever comes of it, every wise man would leave off tilling it. We will think of our bodies, for that is a point surrounded with consolation, since he shall change our vile body and make it like unto his glorious body. Take away that sigh why sigh when the everlasting song is almost on thy lip? The law condemned us in former days, and would again overthrow us if we ventured to meet it unarmed. Certainly, this wondrous ship of Christ's Church, when she ploughs her way through waves of blood, makes swifter headway to the heavenly haven than she does in times of calm. Perhaps the little one stutters, stammers, and cannot get its words out, but the mother sees what he would say, and takes the meaning. God has accepted Christ in the place of his people; and you, accepting Christ to stand in your stead, shall find that your sin is put away, that his righteousness is yours, and that you are "accepted in the Beloved." Happy shall you and I be if, though covered with sin, though guilty and unclean, we nevertheless shall have faith to believe in the Christ that dies, a faith so strong, and confident that we shall dare to stand both now, and at the judgment-seat of Christ, and say, "Who is he that condemneth?" I come, therefore, to notice the second argument. Spirit-taught prayers are offered as they ought to be. THE APOSTLE PAUL was writing to a tried and afflicted people, and one of his objects was to remind them of the rivers of comfort which were flowing near at hand. Words fail, and even the sighs which try to embody them cannot be uttered. Is he exalted? Note yet a little further concerning the special privilege of heirship, we are joint heirs with Christ. (Who would wish that they should? It still lingers in the realm of bondage, and is not brought into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Some groan continually under the troubles of life; they are merely impatient there is no virtue in that. He said to himself, "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." Thine omnipotence is ours, O God, to be our defense. God is well pleased with the death of Christ as the vindication of his justice, and for Christ's sake he says to me, "I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions, and as a cloud thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee." God has given Christ the heathen for his inheritance, and the uttermost ends of the earth for his possession, and we are co-heirs with him. The first ears of corn were offered to the Most High, and surely our new nature, with all its powers, must be regarded by us as a consecrated thing. Now, by this shall ye know whether ye be called of God or not. You drank it down like sweet wine, and you could not have too much of it." ", Delivered on Lord's-Day Morning, January 5TH, 1868, by.

"Brethren, we are debtors;" what I have is not my own, but God's; and if it be God's, then it belongs to God's poor. I do see ground for hope when Christ is bound, for he is bound for me; I do see reason for rejoicing when he dies, for he dies for me, and in my room and stead; I do see a theme for solid satisfaction in his burial, for he is buried for me; but when he comes out of the grave, having swallowed up death in victory, my hope bursts into joyous song.
