"Hope," The Gospel Messenger vol.10 no.8 (Aug. 1888)
SO WHEN THE POOR TEMPEST-TOSSED CHILD OF
GOD has to meet with sore conflicts of this life, being tempted,
persecuted and afflicted, he can only hope in the grace of God
for the glorious resurrection of the dead. Yes, dear child of God,
tribulations are necessary even if they seem hard to endure, yet
they work a great good; for they work patience, the sweet fruit
of the Spirit, that is so needful; for, said the apostle, “ye have
need of patience, that when ye have done the will of God ye
may receive the promise.” “And this is the promise he hath given
to us, even eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” And in possessing
that sweet fruit of the Spirit, patience, we are prepared
to learn of him (Jesus). We experience more of the tender mercies
of God, and learn to trust less in the flesh and more in him
who said, “my grace is sufficient.” |
