All That He Has Is Ours! by DG Miles McKee   " By grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." -Ephesians 2:8 [KJV] Here’s some good news for the believer; we may at times feel like we are the greatest of sinners, but Jesus is greater than all our feelings about our sin.  As believers, we are now called to have faith in the Lord Jesus. Why? Because He alone has made the satisfactory wrath offering for the sins of His people ( see  1 John 4:10: Romans 3:25: 1 John 2:2 ). Here´s how it works.  The Spirit of God generates faith (Galatians 5:22) and links us as sinners to Jesus the sin bearer. True Bible faith recognizes that salvation is something that God has already accomplished outside of us, in the person of Jesus (Acts 13:32-33, 38-39). Salvation was not accomplished when we said the “sinners prayer." It was accomplished 2000 years before that in Christ .  However, we must remember that faith ...

"Woe unto them which justify the wicked for a reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him." - Isaiah 5:23 [KJV]   Persons are said in the Scripture to do a thing, when they aim to do it, and, if it were in their power, would do it: so apostates are said “to crucify the Son of God afresh” (Hebrews 6:6.) But that is impossible. Yet, by denying Christ to be the Son of God, they justify the act, and, were it in their power, would do it again. So here, a woe is denounced against persons for teaching cursed, corrupt doctrine.    (1st.) “They justify the wicked for a reward.” This is the common and prevailing doctrine of our day. The wicked is the character of every natural man. Let the lives of such be ever so wicked, yet, instead of being told the necessity of being born again of the Spirit and justified by the Son of God, they are taught to believe they can bribe God’s justice, obtain His favour, and justify their souls in His sight, by t...

"And Pilate marvelled if He were already dead." -Mark 15:44 [KJV]   Precious Jesus! had the unjust judge but known Thy soul travail and agonies, instead of wondering at the speediness of Thy death, all his astonishment would have been that nature, so oppressed, and so suffering, could have held out so long; for what would have crushed in a moment all creation, as well angels as men, in sustaining the wrath of God, due to sin, Jesus endured on the cross for so many hours! In point of suffering, He wrought out a whole eternity due to sin, on the cross: and in point of efficacy, He "for ever perfected them that are sanctified."   Jesus therefore accomplished more in that memorable day, than all the creatures of God could have done for ever. Wonderful were the works which God dispatched in creation; but the wonders of redemption far exceed them. The six hours which Jesus hung upon the cross, wrought out a more stupendous display of almighty power and grac...

"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." -John 15:19 [KJV]   If you walk in the fear of God, and follow in the footsteps of a persecuted and despised Jesus, the world will hate and despise you as it hated and despised Him, as He Himself declares, "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you." God himself has put enmity between the Seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent (Genesis 3:15) ; and nothing will secure you from the manifestation of this enmity if you are on Christ's side. Neither rank, nor property, nor learning, nor education, nor amiability, nor the profusest deeds of liberality, nor the greatest uprightness of conduct, will stave off the scorn of men, if you are a sincere follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, and carry out in practice what you hold in principle. If you are not conformed t...
