Subject: A Very Present Help! |
Bible Note: "The eighth chapter of Romans is an outburst of humble triumph on the Apostle's part on realizing that the conflict of the Christian life as depicted in the seventh chapter issues in victory through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost [1 Corinthians 3:16]. Evil may be entrenched in our members [James 4:1]; but the power of God unto salvation has entered our hearts by the Holy Ghost and by the prevalent working of that Holy Spirit within us we are enabled to cry, Abba, Father [Galatians 4:6] and being made sons of God are constituted His heirs and co-heirs with Jesus Christ [Revelation 21:7].... "The Spirit intercedes for us then by working in us right desires for each time of need and by deepening those desires into unutterable groans. They are our desires and our groans, but not apart form the Spirit; they are His, wrought in us by Him... "Is this not a very present help in time or trouble?" --Benjamin Breckenridge Warfield (1851-1921) |
