Child of God, you are Greatly Loved





“And he said unto me,  
O Daniel, a man greatly beloved… Fear not” -DANIEL 10:11, 12 [KJV]


Daniel was a man greatly loved by God. Child of God, do you hesitate to appropriate this title? Ah! has your unbelief made you forget that you are greatly loved by God? Must you not have been greatly loved--to have been bought with the precious blood of Christ? When God smote His only begotten Son for you--what was this but being greatly loved by Him? You lived in sin and rioted in it--must you not have been greatly loved for God to have borne so patiently with you?

You were called by grace and led to the Savior, and made a child of God and an heir of Heaven! All this proves, does it not--a very great and super-abounding love for you? Since that time, whether your path has been rough with troubles, or smooth with mercies--it has been full of proofs that you are greatly loved by God. If the Lord has chastened you--yet it was not in anger. If He has made you poor--yet you have been made rich in grace. The more unworthy you feel yourself to be--the more evidence you have that nothing but unspeakable divine love could have led the Lord Jesus to save such a soul as yours!

The more demerit you feel--the clearer is the display of the abounding love of God, in having chosen you, and called you, and made you an heir of everlasting bliss! Now, if there is such great love from God to us--let us live in the influence and sweetness of it, and use the privilege of our exalted position as God's redeemed children. Do not let us approach our Lord as though we were strangers, or as though He were unwilling to hear us--for we are greatly cherished by our compassionate Father!

“He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” [ROMANS 8:32]. Come boldly, O believer, for despite the whisperings of Satan and the doubtings of your own heart--you are greatly loved! Meditate on the exceeding vastness and faithfulness of Christ’s matchless love to you. “And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” [EPHESIANS 3:19].

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s

God ordained Authority: Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate

Image
The Lesser Magistrate Doctrine  teaches that when the superior or higher ranking civil authority makes unjust/immoral law, policy, or court opinion – the lower or lesser ranking civil authority has both the God-given right  and duty  to refuse obedience to that superior authority; and if necessary, actively resist the superior authority. The doctrine was first formalized by Christian men in Magdeburg, Germany in 1550.  The lesser magistrate doctrine is rooted in the historic Christian doctrine of interposition.  Interposition   is where one steps into the gap – placing themselves in between the oppressor and his intended victim. Interposition can take place verbally or physically.  The law of God is the objective standard to which all men and all governments of men are accountable. If civil authorities make law, policy, or court opinion that is contrary to His law – the lesser magistrates are to interpose and  stop the evil .  America’s founders established this nation as a true federa
