All those holy ends that God aimed at in true dipping, are wholly made void, and of no effect in the dipping of Infants

Now the Lord Jesus came not till the fullness of time, Gal. 4. 5. and when he was come, never undertook any Administration, though he were heir of all things, Heb. 1. 3. but in an orderly way, as hath been shewed, nor will he contract marriage with any, though the husband of all his Church and members, Hosea 2. 19. I will bethroth them unto me in Righteousness, And in Judgment, and in loving…

Matthew 17:24-27 Our King and the tribute money

CHAPTER 17 MATTHEW 17:24-27 OUR KING AND THE TRIBUTE MONEY 24. And when they were come to Capernaum,, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? The half-shekel tribute was a religious payment, based originally on law, but enlarged by a custom which had no support in Scripture. It was ordained by the divine law to be paid for each person to the…

The Wednesday Word: Jesus Our Redemption and Ransom

We are not redeemed because we felt or experienced something. No indeed! We are redeemed because the Lord Christ bought and paid for us with His own blood some 2000 years ago. We are His purchased possession. He owns us. We have been bought with the price of His blood. (1 Corinthians 6:20). Is it any wonder then that Fanny Crosby penned the lovely hymn, “Redeemed how I love to proclaim…

The Sinaitic covenant was supplementary and subsidiary to the Abrahamic

The Sinaitic covenant was supplementary and subsidiary to the Abrahamic, serving to promote both its natural and spiritual ends. Its object was not to convey, but to direct life. Its immediate design was to make clear to Abraham’s seed how it behooved them to act toward God and toward each other, as a chosen generation, as the people of Jehovah. It made evident the character and conduct required…

The law shows us how very black we are

2. Once again. The law, when it comes into the heart, shows us how very black we are. Some of us know that we are sinners. It is very easy to say it. The word “sinner” hath only two syllables in it, and many there be who frequently have it on their lips, but who do not understand it. They see their sin, but it does not appear exceedingly sinful till the law comes. We think there is something…

Matthew 17:22-23 Again the King speaks of His death

CHAPTER 17 MATTHEW 17:22, 23 AGAIN THE KING SPEAKS OF HIS DEATH 22, 23. And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. Our Lord returned often to the solemn subject of his death at the hands of men. It was on his own mind, and…

The Wednesday Word: Saved by Grace in Christ

Something for a conclusion should be spoken to the carnal world, but what shall I say unto them?

Something now for a conclusion should be spoken to the carnal world, who have heard me tell of all this love. But what shall I say unto them? If I should speak to them, and they should not hear; or if I should testify unto them, and they should not believe; or intreat them, and they should scorn me; all will but aggravate, and greaten their sin, and tend to their further condemnation. And…

We see again that marvel of divine wisdom

In the historical order and dispensational relation between the Abrahamic and Sinaitic covenants we see again that marvel of divine wisdom which conjoins such opposites as law and grace, justice and mercy, requirement and provision. The fact that the latter was “added” to the former, shows that the one was not set aside or ignored by the other, but was acknowledged in its unimpaired validity. Now…

The law discovers sin in the soul

1. The law causes the offense to abound by discovering sin to the soul. When once God the Holy Ghost applies the law to the conscience, secret sins are dragged to light, little sins are magnified to their true size, and things apparently harmless become exceedingly sinful. Before that dread searcher of the hearts and trier of the reins makes his entrance into the soul, it appears righteous, just,…

CHAPTER 17 MATTHEW 17:14-21 THE KING RETURNING TO THE FIELD OF CONFLICT 14-16. And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire and oft into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Down from communion…

The Wednesday Word: Perfect Righteousness

Humanly speaking, one of the reasons people don’t come to Christ is simple . . . they think they don’t need to. After all, in everyday life it´s only sick people who need the doctor. Then there are others who feel they are decent and good and, therefore, qualified to approach God. But as Spurgeon says, “There are people who quite misunderstand the gospel; they think that their righteousness…

Counsel Fifth - if you would improve this love, keep those grounds, and evidences that God hath given you

Counsel Fifth, and lastly, Keep, to this end, those grounds, and evidences that God hath given you of your call to be partakers of this love, with all clearness upon your hearts, and in your minds.

Second, in order to convict Israel of their guilt and convince them of the need of another righteousness than their own

“Wherein is the Sinaitic covenant related to the others, particularly to the everlasting covenant of grace and the Adamic covenant of works? — was it in harmony with the former or a renewal of the latter?” These questions raise an issue which presents the chief difficulty to be elucidated. In seeking its solution, several vital and basic considerations must needs be steadily borne in mind,…
