“And I will remember My covenant.” — Genesis 9:15
Mark the form of the promise. God does not say, “And when ye shall look upon the bow, and ye shall remember My covenant, then I will not destroy the earth,” but it is gloriously put, not upon our memory, which is fickle and frail, but upon God’s memory, which is infinite and immutable. “The bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant.” Oh! it is not my remembering God, it is God’s remembering me which is the ground of my safety; it is not my laying hold of His covenant, but His covenant’s laying hold on me. Glory be to God! the whole of the bulwarks of salvation are secured by divine power, and even the…
minor towers, which we may imagine might have been
left to man, are guarded by almighty strength. Even the remembrance of
the covenant is not left to our memories, for we might forget, but our Lord
cannot forget the saints whom He has graven on the palms of His hands. It
is with us as with Israel in Egypt; the blood was upon the lintel and the
two side-posts, but the Lord did not say, “When you see the blood I will
pass over you,” but “When I see the blood I will pass over you.” My
looking to Jesus brings me joy and peace, but it is God’s looking to Jesus
which secures my salvation and that of all His elect, since it is impossible
for our God to look at Christ, our bleeding Surety, and then to be angry
with us for sins already punished in Him. No, it is not left with us even to
be saved by remembering the covenant. There is no linsey-wolsey here —
not a single thread of the creature mars the fabric. It is not of man, neither
by man, but of the Lord alone. We should remember the covenant, and we
shall do it, through divine grace; but the hinge of our safety does not hang
there — it is God’s remembering us, not our remembering Him; and hence
the covenant is an everlasting covenant.
