"Isaiah xxvi.3," The Gospel Messenger (July 1880)
THIS GLORIOUS PEACE, however, is not felt and known by the heirs of promise until the dear Lord makes it known to them, by his life-giving power. They in themselves are vile and polluted sinners, “By nature the children of wrath even as others;” aliens from God, “dead in trespasses and sins” within themselves every way irreconciled to God; hence the necessity of the life-giving power of the Son of God being manifested in awakening them into life, or to a knowledge of their true condition in nature, and then to reveal to their minds the sweet and lasting peace that the blessed Saviour has effected for them. When one of the people of God is first awakened, or quickened into life, his condition as a sinner is very alarming to him, feeling himself to be a poor lost sinner; a guilty culprit in the sight of God, awaiting the execution (as he thinks) of impending justice which consigns him to eternal death. Believes God is angry with him, and will certainly manifest his anger in his eternal destruction, which causes him to weep, mourn and cry to God, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” “Lord save, I perish!” Lord, I am sinking; oh! do deliver my poor soul, if it can be thy will. |
