Are You Chaff in the Sight of God?

January 23, 2012 · Posted in Christ, Ryle, Salvation

You may have rare intellectual gifts, and high mental attainments — you may sway kingdoms by your counsel, move millions by your pen, or keep crowds in breathless attention by your tongue — but if you have never submitted yourself to the yoke of Christ, and never honored His Gospel by heartfelt reception of it [...]

All Your Real Power is in Christ

December 25, 2011 · Posted in Christ, Salvation, Winslow

All your real power is in Christ. In His strength you can do great things for God, and suffer great things for Jesus. Bring your strong corruptions to His grace, and your little strength to His omnipotence, and your very weakness shall turn to your account by drawing you into a closer alliance with the [...]

Do Not Become Dead to the Gospel

November 29, 2011 · Posted in Gospel, Ryle, Salvation

Men and women who hear the Gospel regularly, I often fear much for you. I fear lest you become so familiar with the sounds of its doctrines, that insensibly you become dead to its power. I fear lest your religion should sink down into a little vague talk about your own weakness and corruption, and [...]

We Must Come on Bended Knee

November 19, 2011 · Posted in Books, Salvation, Sproul

The preacher who smiles benignly from his pulpit assuring us that “God accepts you just the way you are” tells a monstrous lie. He sugarcoats the gospel of love with saccharine grace. God does not accept the arrogant; He turns His back to the impenitent. He maintains love toward His fallen creatures, inviting them back [...]

Take Our Sorrows to Him

October 16, 2011 · Posted in Christ, Salvation

In your moment of disappointment and despair, Jesus meets you with the gracious words, “Bring it here unto Me.” And now your spirit revives, your heart bounds at the words, and you exclaim, “Behold, Lord, I come!” Jesus says, “Bring your sorrows to Me!” Never did the soul find so powerful a magnet, attracting to [...]

Jesus the Redeemer: God and Man

July 27, 2011 · Posted in Christ, Ryle, Salvation

The Lord Jesus, in whom the Gospel bids us believe, is, without doubt, almighty God–equal to the Father in all things, and able to save to the uttermost all those that come unto God by Him. But that same Jesus is no less certainly perfect man–able to sympathize with man in all his bodily sufferings, [...]

A Far More Admirable Work

May 28, 2011 · Posted in Christ, Owen, Salvation

So, then, this also is hid in Christ — the great and unspeakable riches of the wisdom of God, in pardoning sin, saving sinners, satisfying justice, fulfilling the law, repairing his own honour, and providing for us a more exceeding weight of glory — and all this out of such a condition as wherein it was impossible that it [...]

He is the Mediator

May 23, 2011 · Posted in Bavinck, Christ, Salvation

Believers all call themselves by the name of Christ and in communion with this Christ they are themselves anointed as prophets, priests, and kings. Christ is given many other names in Scripture. He is called the Son of God, the only-begotten, beloved Son of God, the Word, the image of God, the reflection of God’s [...]

A Loving, Merciful Christ

May 19, 2011 · Posted in Christ, Salvation, Sibbes

Since Christ is thus comfortably set out to us, let us not believe Satan’s representations of him. When we are troubled in conscience for our sins, Satan’s manner is then to present Christ to the afflicted soul as a most severe judge armed with justice against us. But then let us present him to our [...]
