"Look," says one, "there is sin. We have him first very succinctly, but very fully described in these words "Them that love God, them who are the called according to his purpose."

Tell me, oh, tell me, if ye know, seers and prophets, is my name recorded in that book of life? When God said, "Let my Anointed go free, I am satisfied and content in him," then every elect vessel went free in him; then every child of God was released from durance vile no more to die, not to know bondage or fetter for ever. leaving not so much as a single drop of wormwood or gall for any to drink who put their trust in him. The thoughts are too great to need to be spun out, or you can do that in your private meditations. It means, first of all, that our right to the divine heritage stands or falls with Christ's right to the same inheritance. His work is never superficial, but always deep and inward. My mind wanders: I chatter like a crane; I roar like a beast in pain; I moan in the brokenness of my heart, but oh, my God, I know not what it is my inmost spirit needs; or if I know it, I know not how to frame my petition aright before thee.

On this I shall speak very briefly. I am in this boat myself. He parried the question at first, for he did not think that it was very important for him to answer it.

May my blessed Master help you to come to him, and draw you to his Son, for Jesu's sake. Enemies in heaven? Perhaps since matter may not be annihilated, and probably cannot be, but will be as immortal as spirit, this very world will become the place of an eternal jubilee, from which perpetual hallelujahs shall go up to the throne of God. It is as though one bartered a diamond to buy a common pebble from the brook, or gave away an empire to purchase some foul thing not worthy of being picked off a dunghill. The old divines, the Puritans, the Reformers, are now in these last days, to be superseded by men whose teaching flatly contradicts all that we have received of our forefathers. The Pastors College. "Say to the North, give up, and to the South, keep not back; bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth." Can he still be valiant, and maintain his ground, calling out, "Who is he that condemneth?" So are the affections. He would say, "My labor is all thrown away on such a plot of ground as this, nothing more can be done with it, for after having done my utmost nothing but weeds is produced, so now it must be left to itself." I beseech thee, "Agree with thy creditor quickly, whilst thou art in the way with him; lest he deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer to cast thee into prison: verily I say unto thee, thou shall not come out till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing." I have been astonished in looking though old Roman history at the wonderful prodigies of integrity and valour which were produced by idolatry, or rather, which were produced by patriotism, and that principle which ruled the Romans, namely, love of fame. It was after death remember that, it was after death that his heart poured out the tribute of blood and water by which we have the double cure; see, then, how he loves us in death and after death. We generally receive more comfort at the cross than we do at the empty sepulchre. troubles? "It came to pass afterward that David's heart smote him." Look at his gore, as it distils from his body in Gethsemane and on the accursed tree. They are waiting till their Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the trump of the archangel, and the voice of God; then shall their bodies rise, then shall the world be judged; then shall the righteous be divided from the wicked; and then, upstreaming in marvellous procession, leading captivity captive for the last time, the Prince at their head, the whole of the blood-washed host, wearing their white robes, and bearing their palms of victory, shall march up to their crowns and to their thrones, to reign for ever and ever! he hath made us kings. O my soul! Is then your calling a high calling, has it lifted up your heart, and set it upon heavenly things? Now why call Zaccheus? If he had willed it, thou wouldst have been among the damned; if he had not willed thy salvation, all thou couldst do would have been utterly powerless to deliver thee from perdition. Nay, ye say, we have some little gratitude towards earthly relatives. Romans 8:22-23 . I beseech you, my dear friends, take this thought with you wherever you go: "I am a debtor, I must serve my God. What if Christ died for all your past sins? Romans 8 - A New and Wonderful Life in the Spirit A. You have not come of age, so you do not possess it yet, but the day shall come when Christ shall come to this earth, and take possession of it, and then his saints shall reign with him. Illustration, examination, consolation. If you were a free man, and had married a wife, a slave, you could not feel perfectly content, but the more you enjoyed the sweets of freedom yourself, the more would you pine that she should still he in slavery. I do consider that in this there is an argument why no believer ever can perish. But he says, "Get thee hence, Satan, I know I am the son of God." Here stands the case. His intercession is not in or for the unregenerate. 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. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?" Spurgeon takes us back to the previous verses in the opening remarks of his sermon on Romans 8:37 Look attentively at the champion. You and I are free, but what is our liberty? By "good," he understands spiritual good. And wilt thou think, yet again, what cause there is that thou shouldest realize to-day thy union with Christ, since thou art joint heir with him. Merchant; though you have been sore pressed this week, and it is highly probable that next week will be worse still for you, believe that all things even then are working for your good. Yet I have been upheld till now, who could hold me up but my God!" By three figures I will endeavour to describe the work of the Spirit of God in this matter, though they all fall short, and indeed all that I can say must fall infinitely short of the glory of his work. Surely the apostle was right when he said, "Yea rather, who hath risen from the dead." Who will feed my belly with hid treasures? Every one knows that it is a disgrace to a matchless prayer-book, that such words should be permitted to stand there-words so infamously untrue that by their gross untruthfulness they cease to have the destructive effect which more cunning language might have produced, because the conscience of man revolts against the idea that the sprinkling of drops of water upon the infants's brow can ever make it a member of Christ, and a child of God. He uses a noun, and not an adjective. this is "to the uttermost;" what we thought, perhaps, to be the very smallest matter in the recital, is just the greatest. When Christ Jesus took away our guilt, and "his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree," justice was more terribly displayed than when guilty sinners sink to hell. 1-. Still the accuser continues reminding us of our past life: "you have trusted in others, and turned away from Christ; you went everywhere before you came to him." It needs no stretch of imagination to conceive this place to be a Roman amphitheatre. Nay, he is not only dead, but he is corrupt; his lusts, like the worms, have crept into him, a foul stench riseth up into the nostrils of justice, God abhorreth him, and justice crieth, "Bury the dead out of my sight, cast it into the fire, let it be consumed." Dost thou love God, not with lip-language, but with heart-service? The time shall come when thou shalt yet be his disciple." The title of joint heir contains another mystery which I cannot withhold, although it must be judiciously handled Christ, as coheir, has (of his own free grace) so identified himself with what his rights as co-heir are not to be separated or viewed apart from ours. He looked at me, and picked me out as if I was the only man there, and described me exactly." A man may be full of faith and joy spiritually, but I will defy him under some forms of disease to feel as he would. It behoveth each of us, then, to comfort and establish our hearts upon this word "work." Is it prudent to despise the riches of his grace? II. Well, in the first place, there is one part of the property which we may enjoy at once. Where he is every saint shall be ere long. He is heir of this world. "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. In the golden age of Rome, if a man were tempted to dishonesty, he would stand upright, look the tempter in the face, and say to him, "I am a Roman." And oh, would you be ashamed to die for Christ; methinks, if you are what you should be, you will glory in tribulations also, and count it sweet to suffer for Christ. O my hearer, art thou a believer in Christ? Oh would you not pray confidently if you knew that your prayer corresponded with the sealed book of destiny? He was the representative of all the elect. We are debtors to the past. Consider what thou owest to his immutability. Our little debts we can pay. 2. Whosoever loveth God, without doubt, is a Christian; and whosoever loveth him not, however high may be his pretensions, however boastful his professions, hath not seen God, neither known him for "God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." This is our witnessing that we are born of God. "THE SWORD AND THE TROWEL." I would recommend that to many Christians. 'Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire in hell!'" Surely no one is so daring as to say, that all men are led by the Spirit of God; yet may it readily enough be inferred from our text, that those who are not led by the Spirit of God are not the sons of God, but that they and they alone who are led, guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit, are the sons of God. The same legacy that left peace with you, also left tribulation with you, while you are in this world. I want, I want; I cannot tell thee what I want: but I seem to want all things. There is therefore now no condemnation: The simple declaration of no condemnation comes to those who are in Christ Jesus. What Paul are you at? And he could not think that it could be so; as he turned the matter over mentally, he said, "If they be indeed one with Christ, I am persuaded that nothing can separate them from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.". Simply because it is depraved; and until he had entered a foul element until the body had begun to quiver with a kind of intoxication the fancy would not hold its carnival. Second, the people being described as having no katakrima are not all who believe in Christ for everlasting life, but a particular type of believer. say you? Consider the relation in which we stand to God, and then remember what God is; and after I have spoken of these two things, I hope you will see, indeed, that it is a sin to be at enmity with God. But all things pass away. Would you refuse to go with him to the garden of his agony? And this solemn text drops an awful warning: "How shall ye escape, if ye neglect so great salvation." These divine persons always work together, and there is a common desire for the glory of each blessed Person of the Divine Unity, and therefore it cannot be conceived without profanity, that anything could be the mind of the Holy Spirit and not be the mind of the Father and the mind of the Son. Knowing that my sin deserved death, he willingly died, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring me to God. He it is that leads our soul to cry, "though my house be not so with God, yet hath he made with me an everlasting covenant ordered in all things and sure." In what way could the Father put greater honor on his Son than by forming a race like to himself, who shall be the many brethren among whom he is the well-beloved firstborn? You have been to everybody else; you may go to them now." When we are poor, and in eternity have no shelter; when we in the next world shall find no heaven and no bliss, then, wandering as outcast orphans, we shall see our Elder Brother an outcast orphan too; if we be portionless and penniless, the Firstborn among many brethren must be portionless and penniless also, for with him we stand or we fall. The text says, "we groan." Keep that groan in your ear, for I want you to hear another. O how much we owe them. Home; Shop. We are to be holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners. If it be possible that the malice and the graft of hell could invent some scheme by which the covenant could he put out of court, and the promise of grace could be made to fail, then Christ fails with his people, and the heir of all things loses his inheritance as soon as one single one of the other heirs shall have his right to the inheritance disproved. If you understood how delightful it is to get out of yourself into Christ, and to live because Jesus died, you would not linger and doubt, and fear, but you would say, "If it be so, I will come to Christ, and I will trust him, that with you I may say, 'The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.'" Some of them who were rather heavy and sad of spirit in their days of health have grown joyous and glad as they have neared the eternal kingdom. He sees hosts of angels; but those hosts are the servants of his enemy. Next survey our dear covenant Head in his experience in relation to men. I thought Christians were a humble, timid people." Another doctrine we gather from this is, the necessity of an entire change of our nature. If I read in the Scriptures that in the most heroic acts of faith God the Holy Ghost helpeth his people, I can understand it; if I read that in the sweetest music of their songs when they worship best, and chant their loftiest strains before the Most High God, the Spirit helpeth them, I can understand it; and even if I hear that in their wrestling prayers and prevalent intercessions God the Holy Spirit helpeth them, I can understand it: but I bow with reverent amazement, my heart sinking into the dust with adoration, when I reflect that God the Holy Ghost helps us when we cannot speak, but only groan. For, first, if I am called then I am predestinated, there is no doubt about it. We believe that in the death of Christ there was a full penalty paid to divine justice for all the sins which the believer can possibly commit. In the next verse we are described as hoping. There was no kinship between the Lord Jesus and angels, for to which of the angels had the Father said at any time, "Thou art my Son?" saith he, "I do not call gold good, but I call faith good! Nor can any creature accuse his saints, nor can heaven, or earth, or hell disprove our rights or infringe upon our title so long as his title stands undisputed and indisputable. Ye would, I am sure, at once confess, did ye know what the race is, that the indictment is proven, and that the world must unreservedly and truthfully exclaim, "guilty. Do you shrink from being tempted? Oh! I pray you never think well of fine prayers, for before the thrice holy God it ill becomes a sinful suppliant to play the orator. An exile, far away from his native country, has been long forgotten, but on a sudden a vessel brings him the pardon of his monarch, and presents from his friends who have called him to remembrance. Rowland Hill. Bible > Romans > Chapter 8 > Verse 35 Library Free Downloads eBibles Romans 8:35 We are saved by hope. We have believed in Jesus, and it is written, "as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to as many as believed on his name.". Christ is risen from the dead, how can we be condemned? Christ loved you when he died; he will love you when you die. Is he exalted? I see the heavens on fire, rolling up like a scroll I see sun, moon, and stars pale now their feeble light the earth is tottering; the pillars of heaven are rocking; the grand assize is commenced the herald angels descend, not to sing this time, but with thundering trumpets to proclaim, "He comes, he comes to judge the earth in righteousness, and the people in equity." Now, if I understand the passage before us, it means this. The apostle opens with the grandest part of the inheritance first heirs of God heirs not of God's gifts, and God's works, but heirs of God himself. You know the story of old Jacob. C. H. Spurgeon At Exeter Hall, Strand. The new birth as surely stands us with the image of Christ as our first birth impressed us with a resemblance to the fathers of our flesh. You must be chastened, you must feel the goad; will you kick against the pricks and so wound yourself more than you would have been by the goad itself? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor! Who is he that condemneth, then? What a debtor thou art to Divine Sovereignty! They feel that they must act, under the circumstances in which they are placed, as they would suppose Jesus would have acted, who is the Son of the ever blessed Father. One of the reasons why many men kick against it is this, they are afraid it hurts them. They surrounded it; they were about to sack it, and Camillus was the only man who could deliver it. He that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. "Yet," says Paul, "I am persuaded that life cannot separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus." Brutus slays his sons; but some Christians would spare their sins. God that cannot lie, in the person of the Holy Ghost, graciously condescendeth to say "Amen" to the testimony of our conscience. Nothing is idle. All the attributes of divinity are the property of God's children their inheritance entailed upon them. And see what it is that we are heirs of. You see what you are predestinated to be: aim at it, aim at it every day. And what if some of us should live very many years? As much as to say, it is a powerful argument for our salvation, that Christ died; but it is a still more cogent proof that every believer shall be saved, that Christ rose again from the dead. Regulus returns to Rome; he stands up in the senate and conjures them never to make peace in Carthage, but ot his wife and children, and tells them that he is going back to Carthage, and of course the tell him that he need not keep faith with an enemy. Well, we confess that too; but then Christ suffered in his spirit. We shall see his face; the devils in hell cannot hinder it; we shall possess the promised rest, still the fiends that are beneath shall not rob us of the heirloom.
