God for His People
AUTHOR: | Gilbert, Richard M. |
|
NEITHER DOES IT MEAN that we may not suffer, and severely,
from those who are against us; we may suffer much
temptation, persecution, reproach, loss of good, and even life
itself may be required. But it signifies that, God being for us,
none can be effectual against us; our adversaries shall not succeed;
our souls shall not suffer final loss, for He that is for us is
greater than all against us. If God be for us in the arrangement
of grace, who can be against us? He that spared not his own
Son, but delivered Him up for us all (us, God’s people,) how
shall he not with him also freely give us all things; who shall lay
anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifies.
If he loves us who shall change his mind? For I am persuaded
that neither death nor life, etc. If he saves, who can
destroy?—John x. 27, 28. If God be for us in the dispensation
of his providence, who can be against us? The cloud may be
dark, but it shall shed down blessings on our head; the bud may
be bitter, but sweet will be the flower; weeping may endure for a
night, but joy cometh in the morning. All things shall work
together for good to them that love God; his eyes will watch
over us, his ear is open to our cry, his hand supplies all our
needs. If God be with us in the spiritual combat, who can be
against us? Men may rage, but the wrath of man shall be made
to praise Him, and the remainder He will restrain. |
