Christ So Loves His People That He

If Our Principal Treasure Be As We Profess, In Things Spiritual And Heavenly, And Woe Unto Us If It Be Not So! On Them Will Our Affections, And Consequently Our Desires And Thoughts, Be Principally Fixed.

The Purpose Of Our Holy And Righteous God Was To Save His Church, But Their Sin Could Not Go Unpunished. It Was, Therefore, Necessary That The Punishment For That Sin Be Transferred From Those Who Deserved It But Could Not Bear It, To One Who Did Not Deserve It But Was Able To Bear It.

Christ So Loves His People That He Sings With Joy Over Them.

No Wonder If Such Persons Look Upon Imputed Righteousness As The Shadow Of A Dream, Who Esteem Those Things Which Evidence Its Necessity To Be But Fond Imaginations. And Small Hope Is There To Bring Such Men To Value The Righteousness Of Christ, As Imputed To Them, Who Are So Unacquainted With Their Own Unrighteousness Inherent In Them. Until Men Know Themselves Better, They Will Care Very Little To Know Christ At All.

A River Continually Fed By A Living Fountain May As Soon End Its Streams Before It Come To The Ocean, As A Stop Be Put To The Course And Progress Of Grace Before It Issue In Glory.
