| brucesbiblepage February 7 | Now, observe, that this prevents the despair which might arise in any heart on account of some one especial sin. I meet with many whose terror of conscience arises from one particular crime. Had they not committed that crimson sin, they consider that they might have been pardoned, but now they are in an evil case. "Surely," say they, "that sin, like an iron bolt, has fast closed the gates of heaven against me." And yet it cannot be so if salvation be of grace. Whatever the sin maybe, its greatness will only serve to illustrate the great grace of God. Undeserved mercy can pardon one sin as well as another, if the soul confess it. If God acted on the rule, of merit with us, then no sin would be pardonable under any circumstances; but when he deals with us in a way of grace he can pass by any offence for which we seek forgiveness. The great sinner is so much the fitter object for great mercy. He who hath but little sin, can, as it were, but draw forth little mercy from God to blot it out; but he who is guilty of some great, crowning, damning sin, he it is to whom the heights and depths of divine mercy may be displayed; and if I speak to such an one this morning I would look upon him with joyful eyes. Sorrowful as he is, I am thankful to have found out such an one. Thou art a rare platform on which my Lord's love may display itself, because thou knowest thyself to be so utterly lost a sinner. #GIVETHANKS #Outreach: That the world may know #Prayer Focus: Pray for Our Prodigals Praise the Lord Please follow my blog Guam Christian Blog Please follow my blog Guam Views BlogPodcast: https://anchor.fm/bruce-dinsman Bruce's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/bruce.dinsman Featured book: https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Service-4-Bruce-Dinsman-ebook/dp/B07W64BCD1 Twitter: @bad671 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dinsmanbruce/ Younow: https://www.younow.com/BruceDinsman Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/bdinsman/pin #Parler #ParlerUS @pacislappraisal | | | |
