The Best News!

“ Christ died for the ungodly” - ROMANS 5:6 [KJV] To redeem poor sinners, Jesus came down from heaven, put on the rags of our mortality, agonized, bled, died. Jesus is made His people’s substitute, burden-bearer, sin-remover, guilt-sustainer. Their debt is placed to His account. His riches pay the full amount. Sin is removed from the sinner, and placed on the Sinless. Their curse is rolled on Him, and He endures it, until no more remains. God deals with Jesus as the guilty one! He, as spotless Deity, receives imputed sins, and fully expiates them all. In the vicarious victim, God's justice is satisfied, and wrath expires. Jesus, in His life, in the garden, on the cross suffers their sufferings, dies their death, and so becomes their uttermost salvation! His pains are their pardon! His stripes are their healing! His agony is their recovery! “Christ died for the ungodly” [ROMANS 5:6 ] ! - Gospel report by preacher Henry Law (1797–1884 A.D.)

The Best Robe!

God’s children are wrapped around with a robe, a seamless robe, which earth and heaven could not buy the like of if it, were it once lost. For texture it excels the fine linen of the merchants; for whiteness it is purer than the driven snow; no looms on earth could make it, but Jesus spent His life to make my robe of righteousness.

It is a robe that is divine, complete; a better one than Adam wore in the perfection of Eden. Adam had but a human righteousness though a perfect one, but we have a divinely perfect righteousness. Strangely, my soul, are you arrayed, for your Savior’s garment is on you- the royal robe of David is wrapped about his Jonathan. Look at God’s people as they are clothed also in the garments of “sanctification.” Was there ever such a robe as that? It is literally stiff with jewels. Every day He arrays the lowliest of His people as though it w

For the Consolation and Encouragement of Souls

"Lord, all my desire is before T hee; and my groaning is not hid from T hee." -P SALM 38:9 [KJV]   Many of the Lord's people cannot clearly read their names in the book of life; many are the doubts and fears that work in their bosom whether the Lord really has begun a work of grace upon their souls, and whether they truly are among the Lord's living family. But this thing they must know— whether at times and seasons they can lie in humility at the footstool of mercy, and appeal to a heart-searching God— "All my desire is before T hee." They must know whether they ever fell down in humility and brokenness of heart before the divine Majesty, and felt these living desires going out of their bosom into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth; and whether they can, with honesty, uprightness, and godly sincerity, say to the Lord in the language before us, "O Lord, all my desire is before thee." "Thou seest my heart, and knowest everything
