"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

“ The terrors of the law have much the same effect on our duties and obedience as frost has on a stream: it hardens, cools, and stagnates. Whereas, let the shining of divine love rise upon the soul; repentance will then flow, our hardness and coldness thaw and melt away, and all the blooming fruits of godliness flourish and abound.” - Gospel report by preacher Augustus Toplady

"I have preached righteousness in the great congregation" -P SALM 40:9-10 [KJV] There can be no doubt in our mind Who is speaking these words. The proceeding verses declare plainly that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming to accomplish God's will in the matter of our salvation. The book of Hebrews quotes these words and applies them to our Saviour Jesus Christ (Heb. 10:5-10). Truly, Jesus Christ is the only sacrifice for sin (Heb. 9:12) and the only Mediator between God and sinners (1 Tim. 2:5). But never forget that He is also God's Prophet to reveal unto us the only way of salvation (Matt. 11:27). Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the promise God made unto Moses in Deut. 18:18, "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I wi...

"My doctrine shall drop as the rain, M y speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass." -D EUTERONOMY 32:2 [KJV] In the falling of the natural dew there is something soft, still, and gentle. We therefore read, "We will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground" [II SAMUEL 17:12 ] , that is, stealthily and unseen. It does not rush down like the pelting hail, but falls stilly and often imperceptibly; so that we scarcely know it has fallen, till we go out in the morning and see every blade of grass tipped with the sparkling dew-drops; by these bright gems we know that dew has fallen during the still hours of the night.   So spiritually, the kingdom of God is not in noise, rant, or wild excitement. The Lord was not in the strong wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but in the still small voice [I KINGS 19:11, 12 ] . And thus there may be a great deal of religious fire, ...

“ 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.)

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. There was a drop of blood in every throw of the shuttle, and every thread was made of His own heart’s agonies. 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...

"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...

God’s wisdom formed the vast design To ransom us when lost; And Christ’s own blood and righteousness Provided all the costs. Strict justice with approving look, God’s covenant was sealed; When God incarnate undertook To see the whole fulfilled. Now sin appears deserving death And would its curse impose; But Christ our Substitute and Head Has lived and died and rose. Upon the merits of His blood, Secure and saved by grace; We dare approach the throne of God In Christ who took our place. Hymn: “O For A Thousand Tongues”
