I fear the personality of our Lord is sadly lost sight of by many professors in the present day. Their talk is more about salvation than about the Savior; more about redemption than about the Redeemer; more about justification than about Jesus; more about Christ’s work than about Christ’s person. This is a great fault, and one that fully accounts for the dry and sapless character of the [Continue reading ...]

“Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.” – Isaiah 52:13 One of the most tragic graces we have lost today in our Christianity is the fear of the LORD, and reverence for Jesus Christ, in particular. As the enemy, the world, or corrupt flesh delight to tear us away from God’s holy Word and the truth at the [Continue reading ...] Author Unknown Address: Ephesians 1:20 Phone: Romans 10:13 Website: The Bible Keywords: Jesus Christ, Lord & Savior My name is Jesus – The Christ. Many call me Lord! I’ve sent you my resume because I’m seeking the top management position in your heart. Please consider my accomplishments as set forth in my resume. Qualifications: • I founded the earth and established the heavens (see Proverbs 3:19). • I formed man from the dust of the [Continue reading ...] Learn, then, that if you take Christ out of Christianity, Christianity is dead. If you remove grace out of the gospel, the gospel is gone. If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it. ~ C.H. Spurgeon ~ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not [Continue reading ...] It is always the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus. But Satan’s work is just the opposite; he is constantly trying to make us look at ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates, ‘Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you do not [Continue reading ...] “The precious blood of Christ.” 1 Peter 1:19 Standing at the foot of the cross, we see hands, and feet, and side, all distilling crimson streams of precious blood. It is “precious” because of its redeeming and atoning efficacy. By it the sins of Christ’s people are atoned for; they are redeemed from under the law; they are reconciled to God, made one [Continue reading ...] Faith in the Lord Jesus is the very key of salvation. He that has it has life, and he that has it not has not life. Nothing whatever beside this faith is necessary to our complete justification; but nothing whatever, except this faith, will give us an interest in Christ. We may fast and mourn for sin, and do many things that are right, and use religious ordinances, [Continue reading ...] “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” – John 10:27 “My SHEEP,” saith Christ, as he stands in the midst of his disciples. “My Shepherd,” let us one and all reply. All the sheep of Christ who have been redeemed by his power, become his by their own cheerful surrender of themselves to him. We would not belong to another if [Continue reading ...] “My sheep,” says Christ. They are his, furthermore, because, in addition to his choice and to the gift, he has bought them with a price. They had sold themselves for nought; but he has redeemed them, not with corruptible things as with silver and gold, but with his precious blood. C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) Possibly Related Posts (automatically generated), Sheep, Substitutionary Atonement, The Cross, The Good Shepherd, The Gospel of Christ | Sorry, comments are now closed One of the great evils of the time is that of deliberating about a plain command of Christ, and asking, “What will be the result of it?” What have you to do with results? “But if I follow Christ in all things, I may lose my position.” What have you to do with that? When a soldier is bidden to go up to the cannon’s [Continue reading ...] If you’re going to be a true Christian, I’ll tell you one thing amongst others: it’ll be a lonely life. It’s a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower. ~ Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994) Leonard Ravenhill, Britain’s foremost outdoor evangelist of the 20th century, said; “Any method of evangelism will work—if God is in it.” [Continue reading ...] “Error is bound to be much more popular than truth to the unregenerate; therefore, to make the truth in any way acceptable to them it has to be watered down, wrested and perverted. And there are always those who, for the sake of filthy lucre, are ready to perjure their souls. Hence heretical sects and systems abound on every side. ‘What delusions are cherished about the character [Continue reading ...] |
