"Rom. viii. 28," The Gospel Messenger vol.7 no.7 (Jul. 1885)
ALL THINGS THAT GOD HAS DONE and is doing, is right;
to the natural mind many things he does seems hard, and the
world finds much objection to the doctrine of grace; but
through, or by faith only, we acknowledge the great truth of the
scripture heading this article; that the great governor of all
worlds is working all things for their good—that is, to those
that love God. This moves me to a close examination this night
to find out if I can, if I was ever favored with this love. O, do I
love God; am I the called according to his purpose? This is, no
doubt, the solemn inquiry of every heaven born soul.
’Tis a point I long to know;
Oft it causes anxious thought;
Do I love the Lord or no—
Am I his or am I not?
The head and representative of the church that loved his
people with an everlasting love, has done all things well for the
called. There is nothing more certain than God’s purpose was
from all eternity, that his people should receive every blessing
that they enjoy in this world, ever had, or will enjoy. Every
trial, my brother and sister, that you meet with in this life, is
for your good, however hard it may seem; if you love God, the
evidence is, he first loved you; he foreknew you, and that before
the world was. |
