AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!

“There is therefore now no condemnation.”
- Romans 8:1

Come, my soul, think thou of this. Believing in Jesus, thou art actually
and effectually cleared from guilt; thou art led out of thy prison. Thou
art no more in fetters as a bond-slave; thou art delivered now from the
bondage of the law; thou art freed from sin, and canst walk at large as a
freeman, thy Saviour’s blood has procured thy full discharge. Thou hast a
right now to approach thy Father’s throne. No flames of vengeance are
there to scare thee now; no fiery sword; justice cannot smite the
innocent. Thy disabilities are taken away: thou wast once unable to see
thy Father’s face: thou canst see it now. Thou couldst not speak with him:
but now thou hast access with boldness. Once there was a fear of hell upon
thee; but thou hast no fear of it now, for how can there be punishment for
the guiltless? He who believeth is not condemned, and cannot be punished.
And more than all, the privileges thou mightst have enjoyed, if thou hadst
never sinned, are thine now that thou art justified.
All the blessings which thou wouldst have had if thou hadst kept the law,
and more, are thine, because Christ has kept it for thee.
All the love and the acceptance which perfect obedience could have
obtained of God, belong to thee, because Christ was perfectly obedient on
thy behalf, and hath imputed all his merits to thy account, that thou
mightst be exceeding rich through him, who for thy sake became exceeding
poor.
Oh! how great the debt of love and gratitude thou owest to thy Saviour!

“A debtor to mercy alone,
Of covenant mercy I sing;
Nor fear with thy righteousness on,
My person and offerings to bring:
The terrors of law and of God,
With me can have nothing to do;
My Saviour’s obedience and blood
Hide all my transgressions from view.”

C.H.SPURGEON

SOLI DEO GLORIA!
