[You can find part 1 here] 2. No hypocrite is totally divorced from the love and liking of every known sin. There is still some secret lust or other, which as a sweet morsel he rolls under his [...]

The first great work which men are to attend to in this world—is the eternal safety and security of their souls. Their next great work is to know, to be assured—that it shall go well with their [...]

The Jews understood that all these statements about the hand of God were being said in contrast to all the other gods that men have made. The psalmist says that these other gods are not like the [...]

We can understand even better now why the psalms praise God: O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with [...]

God does not apply his hand only to chastise. He uses it to care for his people, too. The human hand has an amazing quality that nothing else has: tremendous efficiency of strength and yet total [...]

But God’s action in the external world can be even more personal than it was when he led the Jews out of Egypt. We Christians should be grateful for that event, which, since we are spiritual [...]

One of the great hymns of the church is “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah,” which begins like this: Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty, [...]

It is evident that we need more than a theoretical knowledge of God. Yet we can know God only as he reveals himself to us in the Scriptures, and we cannot know the Scriptures until we are willing [...]

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. (Psalm 90:2) The title of this psalm is a prayer; [...]

THE English word “God” is derived from a root meaning “to call,” and indicates simply the object of worship, one whom men call upon or invoke. The Greek word which it translates in the pages of [...]

​The sinfulness of unbelief: Never let unbelief be spoken of as a misfortune. It is awfully sinful; and its root is the desperate wickedness of the heart.

​Repent and believe: God commands you to believe; and, so long as you do not believe, you are making him a liar, you are rejecting the truth, you are believing a lie; for unbelief is, in reality, [...]

Faith is not a work: ​Believing is not a work, but a ceasing from work; and this struggle to believe, is just the sinner's attempt to make a work out of that which is no work at all, to make a [...]

Salvation is not in our act of believing, trusting, knowing, or remembering; it is in the thing or person believed on, trusted, known, remembered. Nor is salvation given as a reward for believing [...]

​It is the object of faith, - the person, or thing, or truth of which faith lays hold, - that is the soul's peace and consolation.

​The Word of the truth of the Gospel: As the blood of Christ either cleanses or condemns, so the words of the Spirit either kill or make alive. The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, [...]

​God has thus "brought near his righteousness." We do not need to go up to heaven for it; that would imply that Christ had never come down. Nor do we need to go down to the depths of the earth [...]

​The blood of sprinkling: The great blood-shedding has been accomplished; the better life has been presented; and the one death of the Son of God has done what all the deaths of old could never [...]

​Righteous grace: Just, yet the Justifier of the ungodly! What glad tidings are here! Here is grace; God's free love to the sinner; divine bounty and goodwill, altogether irrespective of human [...]

​God's character, our resting-place: We have seen that a sinner's peace cannot come from himself, nor from the knowledge of himself, nor from thinking about his own acts and feelings, nor from [...]

Man's Own Character No Ground Of Peace​: When the Holy Spirit opens the eyes of the soul it sees this. Conviction of sin is just the sinner seeing himself as he is, and as God has all along seen [...]

​Man has fallen! Not this man or that man, but the whole race. In Adam all have sinned; in Adam all have died. It is not that a few leaves have faded or been shaken down, but the tree has become [...]

​There is no pride so dangerous, because none so subtle and insidious, as the pride of holiness. There grows up, all unconsciously, a hidden habit of soul, which feels complacency in its [...]
