“Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect?” — Romans 8:33
Most blessed challenge! How unanswerable it is! Every sin of the elect was laid upon the great Champion of our salvation, and by the atonement carried away. There is no sin in God’s book against His people: He seeth no sin in Jacob, neither iniquity in Israel; they are justified in Christ for ever. When the guilt of sin was taken away, the punishment of sin was removed. For the Christian there is no stroke from God’s angry hand — nay, not so much as a single frown of punitive justice. The believer may be chastised by his Father, but God the Judge has nothing to say to the Christian, except “I have absolved thee: thou art acquitted.” For the Christian there is no…
penal death in this world, much less any second
death. He is completely freed from all the punishment as well as the guilt
of sin, and the power of sin is removed too. It may stand in our way, and
agitate us with perpetual warfare; but sin is a conquered foe to every soul
in union with Jesus. There is no sin which a Christian cannot overcome if
he will only rely upon his God to do it. They who wear the white robe in
heaven overcame through the blood of the Lamb, and we may do the same.
No lust is too mighty, no besetting sin too strongly entrenched; we can
overcome through the power of Christ. Do believe it, Christian, that thy
sin is a condemned thing. It may kick and struggle, but it is doomed to die.
God has written condemnation across its brow. Christ has crucified it,
“nailing it to His cross.” Go now and mortify it, and the Lord help you to
live to His praise, for sin with all its guilt, shame, and fear, is gone.
“Here’s pardon for transgressions past,
It matters not how black their cast;
And, O my soul, with wonder view,
For sins to come here’s pardon too.”

“Exceeding great and precious promises.” — 2 Peter 1:4
If you would know experimentally the preciousness of the promises, and
enjoy them in your own heart, meditate much upon them. There are
promises which are like grapes in the wine-press; if you will tread them
the juice will flow. Thinking over the hallowed words will often be the
prelude to their fulfillment. While you are musing upon them, the boon
which you are seeking will insensibly come to you. Many a Christian who
has thirsted for the promise has found the favour which it ensured gently
distilling into his soul even while he has been considering the divine record;
and he has rejoiced that ever he was led to lay the promise near his heart.
But besides…
meditating upon the promises, seek in thy soul to receive them
as being the very words of God. Speak to thy soul thus, “If I were dealing
with a man’s promise, I should carefully consider the ability and the
character of the man who had covenanted with me. So with the promise of
God; my eye must not be so much fixed upon the greatness of the mercy
— that may stagger me; as upon the greatness of the promiser — that will
cheer me. My soul, it is God, even thy God, God that cannot lie, who
speaks to thee. This word of His which thou art now considering is as true
as His own existence. He is a God unchangeable. He has not altered the
thing which has gone out of His mouth, nor called back one single
consolatory sentence. Nor doth He lack any power; it is the God that
made the heavens and the earth who has spoken thus. Nor can He fail in
wisdom as to the time when He will bestow the favours, for He knoweth
when it is best to give and when better to withhold. Therefore, seeing that
it is the word of a God so true, so immutable, so powerful, so wise, I will
and must believe the promise.” If we thus meditate upon the promises, and
consider the Promiser, we shall experience their sweetness, and obtain their
fulfillment.

“That He may set him with princes.” — Psalm 113:8
Our spiritual privileges are of the highest order. “Among princes” is the place of select society. “Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” Speak of select society, there is none like this! “We are a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood.” “We are come unto the general assembly and church of the first-born, whose names are written in heaven.” The saints have courtly audience: princes have admittance to royalty when common people must stand afar off. The child of God has free access to the inner courts of heaven. “For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.” “Let us come boldly,” says the apostle, “to the throne of the heavenly grace.” Among princes there is abundant wealth, but what is the…
abundance of princes compared
with the riches of believers? for “all things are yours, and ye are Christ’s,
and Christ is God’s.” “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him
up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”
Princes have peculiar power. A prince of heaven’s empire has great
influence: he wields a sceptre in his own domain; he sits upon Jesus’
throne, for “He hath made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall
reign for ever and ever.” We reign over the united kingdom of time and
eternity. Princes, again, have special honour. We may look down upon all
earth-born dignity from the eminence upon which grace has placed us. For
what is human grandeur to this, “He hath raised us up together, and made
us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”? We share the honour of
Christ, and compared with this, earthly splendours are not worth a
thought. Communion with Jesus is a richer gem than ever glittered in
imperial diadem. Union with the Lord is a coronet of beauty outshining all
the blaze of imperial pomp.

“Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge, etc.” — 2 Peter 1:5, 6
If thou wouldest enjoy the eminent grace of the full assurance of faith, under the blessed Spirit’s influence, and assistance, do what the Scripture tells thee, “Give diligence.” Take care that thy faith is of the right kind — that it is not a mere belief of doctrine, but a simple faith, depending on Christ, and on Christ alone. Give diligent heed to thy courage. Plead with God that He would give thee the face of a lion, that thou mayest, with a consciousness of right, go on boldly. Study well the Scriptures, and get knowledge; for a knowledge of doctrine will tend very much to confirm faith. Try to…
understand God’s Word; let it dwell in thy heart richly.
When thou hast done this, “Add to thy knowledge temperance.” Take
heed to thy body: be temperate without. Take heed to thy soul: be
temperate within. Get temperance of lip, life, heart, and thought. Add to
this, by God’s Holy Spirit, patience; ask Him to give thee that patience
which endureth affliction, which, when it is tried, shall come forth as gold.
Array yourself with patience, that you may not murmur nor be depressed
in your afflictions. When that grace is won look to godliness. Godliness is
something more than religion. Make God’s glory your object in life; live in
His sight; dwell close to Him; seek for fellowship with Him; and thou hast
“godliness”; and to that add brotherly love. Have a love to all the saints:
and add to that a charity, which openeth its arms to all men, and loves their
souls. When you are adorned with these jewels, and just in proportion as
you practise these heavenly virtues, will you come to know by clearest
evidence “your calling and election.” “Give diligence,” if you would get
assurance, for lukewarmness and doubting very naturally go handin hand.

“In their affliction they will seek Me early.” — Hosea 5:15
Losses and adversities are frequently the means which the great Shepherd uses to fetch home His wandering sheep; like fierce dogs they worry the wanderers back to the fold. There is no making lions tame if they are too well fed; they must be brought down from their great strength, and their stomachs must be lowered, and then they will submit to the tamer’s hand; and often have we seen the Christian rendered obedient to the Lord’s will by straitness of bread and hard labour. When rich and increased in goods many professors carry their heads much too loftily, and speak exceeding boastfully. Like David, they flatter themselves, “My mountain standeth fast; I shall never be moved.” When the Christian groweth wealthy, is in good repute, hath good health, and a happy family, he too often…
admits Mr. Carnal Security to feast at his table, and then if he be a true child of God there is a rod preparing for him. Wait awhile, and it may be you will see his substance melt away as a dream. There goes a portion of his estate — how soon the acres change hands. That debt, that dishonoured bill — how fast his losses roll in, where will they end? It is a blessed sign of divine life if when these embarrassments occur one after another he begins to be distressed about his backslidings, and betakes himself to his God. Blessed are the waves that wash the mariner upon the rock of salvation! Losses in business are often sanctified to our soul’s enriching. If the chosen soul will not come to the Lord full-handed, it shall come empty. If God, in His grace, findeth no other means of making us honour Him among men, He will cast us into the deep; if we fail to honour Him on the pinnacle of riches, He will bring us into the valley of poverty. Yet faint not, heir of sorrow, when thou art thus rebuked, rather recognize the loving hand which chastens, and say, “I will arise, and go unto my Father.”

“He left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.” — Genesis 39:12
In contending with certain sins there remains no mode of victory but by flight. The ancient naturalists wrote much of basilisks, whose eyes fascinated their victims and rendered them easy victims; so the mere gaze of wickedness puts us in solemn danger. He who would be safe from acts of evil must haste away from occasions of it. A covenant must be made with our eyes not even to look upon the cause of temptation, for such sins only need a spark to begin with and a blaze follows in an instant. Who would wantonly enter the leper’s prison and sleep amid its horrible corruption? He only who desires to be leprous himself would thus court contagion. If the mariner knew how to…
avoid a storm, he would do
anything rather than run the risk of weathering it. Cautious pilots have no
desire to try how near the quicksand they can sail, or how often they may
touch a rock without springing a leak; their aim is to keep as nearly as
possible in the midst of a safe channel.
This day I may be exposed to great peril, let me have the serpent’s
wisdom to keep out of it and avoid it. The wings of a dove may be of more
use to me to-day than the jaws of a lion. It is true I may be an apparent
loser by declining evil company, but I had better leave my cloak than lose
my character; it is not needful that I should be rich, but it is imperative
upon me to be pure. No ties of friendship, no chains of beauty, no
flashings of talent, no shafts of ridicule must turn me from the wise resolve
to flee from sin. The devil I am to resist and he will flee from me, but the
lusts of the flesh, I must flee, or they will surely overcome me. O God of
holiness preserve thy Josephs, that Madam Bubble bewitch them not with
her vile suggestions. May the horrible trinity of the world, the flesh, and
the devil, never overcome us!

“His camp is very great.” — Joel 2:11
Consider, my soul, the mightiness of the Lord who is thy glory and defence. He is a man of war, Jehovah is His name. All the forces of heaven are at His beck, legions wait at His door, cherubim and seraphim;, watchers and holy ones, principalities and powers, are all attentive to His will. If our eyes were not blinded by the ophthalmia of the flesh, we should see horses of fire and chariots of fire round about the Lord’s beloved. The powers of nature are all subject to the absolute control of the Creator: stormy wind and tempest, lightning and rain, and snow, and hail, and the soft dews and cheering sunshine, come and go at His decree. The bands of Orion He looseth, and bindeth the…
sweet influences of the Pleiades. Earth,
sea, and air, and the places under the earth, are the barracks for Jehovah’s
great armies; space is His camping ground, light is His banner, and flame is
His sword. When He goeth forth to war, famine ravages the land,
pestilence smites the nations, hurricane sweeps the sea, tornado shakes the
mountains, and earthquake makes the solid world to tremble. As for
animate creatures, they all own His dominion, and from the great fish
which swallowed the prophet, down to “all manner of flies,” which
plagued the field of Zoan, all are His servants, and like the palmer-worm,
the caterpillar, and the cankerworm, are squadrons of His great army, for
His camp is very great. My soul, see to it that thou be at peace with this
mighty King, yea, more, be sure to enlist under His banner, for to war
against Him is madness, and to serve Him is glory. Jesus, Immanuel, God
with us, is ready to receive recruits for the army of the Lord: if I am not
already enlisted let me go to Him ere I sleep, and beg to be accepted
through His merits; and if I be already, as I hope I am, a soldier of the
cross, let me be of good courage; for the enemy is powerless compared
with my Lord, whose camp is very great.

“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” — 1 John 1:7
“Cleanseth,” says the text — not “shall cleanse.” There are multitudes who think that as a dying hope they may look forward to pardon. Oh! how infinitely better to have cleansing now than to depend on the bare possibility of forgiveness when I come to die. Some imagine that a sense of pardon is an attainment only obtainable after many years of Christian experience. But forgiveness of sin is a present thing — a privilege for this day, a joy for this very hour. The moment a sinner trusts Jesus he is fully forgiven. The text, being written in the present tense, also indicates continuance; it was “cleanseth” yesterday, it is “cleanseth” to-day, it will be “cleanseth” tomorrow: it will be always so with you, Christian, until…
you cross the river; every hour you may come to this fountain, for it
cleanseth still. Notice, likewise, the completeness of the cleansing, “The
blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” — not only from
sin, but “from all sin.” Reader, I cannot tell you the exceeding sweetness of
this word, but I pray God the Holy Ghost to give you a taste of it.
Manifold are our sins against God. Whether the bill be little or great, the
same receipt can discharge one as the other. The blood of Jesus Christ is as
blessed and divine a payment for the transgressions of blaspheming Peter
as for the shortcomings of loving John; our iniquity is gone, all gone at
once, and all gone for ever. Blessed completeness! What a sweet theme to
dwell upon as one gives himself to sleep.
“Sins against a holy God;
Sins against His righteous laws; Sins against His love, His blood; Sins against His name and cause; Sins immense as is the sea- From them all He cleanseth me.”

“Even thou wast as one of them.” — Obadiah 1:11
Brotherly kindness was due from Edom to Israel in the time of need, but instead thereof, the men of Esau made common cause with Israel’s foes. Special stress in the sentence before us is laid upon the word thou; as when Caesar cried to Brutus, “and thou Brutus”; a bad action may be all the worse, because of the person who has committed it. When we sin, who are the chosen favorites of heaven, we sin with an emphasis; ours is a crying offence, because we are so peculiarly indulged. If an angel should lay his hand upon us when we are doing evil, he need not use any other rebuke than the question, “What thou? What dost thou here?” Much forgiven, much delivered, much instructed, much enriched, much blessed, shall we…
dare to put forth our hand unto evil? God forbid!
A few minutes of confession may be beneficial to thee, gentle reader, this
morning. Hast thou never been as the wicked? At an evening party certain
men laughed at uncleanness, and the joke was not altogether offensive to
thine ear, even thou wast as one of them. When hard things were spoken
concerning the ways of God, thou wast bashfully silent; and so, to
on-lookers, thou wast as one of them. When worldlings were bartering in
the market, and driving hard bargains, wast thou not as one of them? When
they were pursuing vanity with a hunter’s foot, wert thou not as greedy
for gain as they were? Could any difference be discerned between thee and
them? Is there any difference? Here we come to close quarters. Be honest
with thine own soul, and make sure that thou art a new creature in Christ
Jesus; but when this is sure, walk jealously, lest any should again be able
to say, “Even thou wast as one of them.” Thou wouldst not desire to share
their eternal doom, why then be like them here? Come not thou into their
secret, lest thou come into their ruin. Side with the afflicted people of God,
and not with the world.

“Behold the Man!” — John 19:5
If there be one place where our Lord Jesus most fully becomes the joy and comfort of His people, it is where He plunged deepest into the depths of woe. Come hither, gracious souls, and behold the Man in the garden of Gethsemane; behold His heart so brimming with love that He cannot hold it in — so full of sorrow that it must find a vent. Behold the bloody sweat as it distils from every pore of His body, and falls upon the ground. Behold the Man as they drive the nails into His hands and feet. Look up, repenting sinners, and see the sorrowful image of your suffering Lord. Mark Him, as the ruby drops stand on the thorn-crown, and adorn with priceless gems the diadem of the King of Misery. Behold the…
Man when all
His bones are out of joint, and He is poured out like water and brought
into the dust of death; God hath forsaken Him, and hell compasseth Him
about. Behold and see, was there ever sorrow like unto His sorrow that is
done unto Him? All ye that pass by draw near and look upon this
spectacle of grief, unique, unparalleled, a wonder to men and angels, a
prodigy unmatched. Behold the Emperor of Woe who had no equal or rival
in His agonies! Gaze upon Him, ye mourners, for if there be not
consolation in a crucified Christ there is no joy in earth or heaven. If in the
ransom price of His blood there be not hope, ye harps of heaven, there is
no joy in you, and the right hand of God shall know no pleasures for
evermore. We have only to sit more continually at the cross foot to be less
troubled with our doubts and woes. We have but to see His sorrows, and
our sorrows we shall be ashamed to mention; we have but to gaze into His
wounds and heal our own. If we would live aright it must be by the
contemplation of His death; if we would rise to dignity, it must be by
considering His humiliation and His sorrow.
