A Charge Against God's Elect?

7/29/2019

0 Comments

 
Today I would like to encourage you with a writer from the past and his writing. You may need to read it slowly a few times for it to sink in, but I believe that Mr. Charles Spurgeon's words are just as applicable to us today as during the time that he lived in. 

~ 

"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 forever. 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."

C. H. Spurgeon taken from Morning & Evening, evening of July 27th.

Praise the Lord!

Often in the regular routine of life we can forget that we have been put here on earth to bring glory and praise to God. Being reminded of this recently, I wanted to encourage you to praise the Lord no matter what may be happening in your life. May we all continue to praise the Lord, the one who made us and continually cares for us! 


Praise the LORD! 
For it is good to sing praises to our God; 
for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting. 
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; 
he gathers the outcasts of Israel. 
He heals the brokenhearted 
and binds up their wounds. 
He determines the number of the stars; 
he gives to all of them their names. 
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; 
his understanding is beyond measure. 
The LORD lifts up the humble; 
he casts the wicked to the ground. 
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; 
make melody to our God on the lyre! 
He covers the heavens with clouds; 
he prepares rain for the earth; 
he makes grass grow on the hills. 
He gives to the beasts their food, 
and to the young ravens that cry. 
His delight is not in the strength of the horse, 
nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, 
but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, 
in those who hope in his steadfast love. 
Psalm 147:1-11 (ESV)

True Freedom!

This week we remember the independence and freedom that we enjoy in our country. Reflecting on the struggle at the founding of our country, I am inspired to continue to desire and defend this freedom. While this is something that we should remember, there is an even greater instance of our freedom being secured. Our freedom from sin and death was won through Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection! 


I know that this week may be busy, but I would encourage you to listen to this beautiful song and remember Who it is that we put our trust in. What a great freedom can we have when we are wholly resting in the salvation of our Savior! 


Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord! 
O Lord, hear my voice! 
Let your ears be attentive 
to the voice of my pleas for mercy! 
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, 
O Lord, who could stand? 
But with you there is forgiveness, 
that you may be feared. 
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, 
and in his word I hope; 
my soul waits for the Lord 
more than watchmen for the morning, 
more than watchmen for the morning. 
O Israel, hope in the Lord! 
For with the Lord there is steadfast love, 
and with him is plentiful redemption. 
And he will redeem Israel 
from all his iniquities. 
Psalm 130 (ESV)
