REFLECTIONS

Reader! can you, can I, find strength of faith, under the assurance of being justified in the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ, to rest in him for everlasting life; then may we take part in the precious truth of the Apostle's words, for there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. And, blessed be God for all the high privileges of a justified state before God. Led by the Spirit of God, we are the sons of God. And Christ being in us, though the body be dead because of sin, yet is the spirit life because of righteousness. No spirit of bondage anymore to fear. No debtors to the law anymore to dread. But, living in the Spirit, and walking in the Spirit, we through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, and we shall live.

Grant, Almighty Lord and Father, grace to call thee abba, Father! Lord! by the Spirit of adoption we have received, give us to be conformed to the image of thy dear Son. And being called, and justified, and made heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, we may at length be glorified in Christ forever. And nothing, in life or death, in time, or in eternity, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
