Bible Note: "Is it not a strange thing that some professors should look to Christ alone for pardon and justification, and run away to Moses when they desire sanctification? The child of the bond woman is driven by the whip, but the child of the free woman is drawn by cords of love. This is a motive fit for the child of the free woman, and it moves His heart. The love of Christ constrains us. Not fear of hell, but love of Christ. Not fear that God will cast us away, for that He cannot do, but the joy that we are saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation constrains us to cling to Him with all our heart and soul, forever and ever. Rest assured, if motives fetched from the gospel will not kill sin, motives fetched from the law never will. If you cannot be purged at Calvary, you certainly cannot be cleansed at Sinai. If 'the water and the blood, from the riven side which flowed,' are not sufficient to purify you; no blood of bulls or of goats; I mean, no argument from the Jewish law, will ever furnish motives sufficiently strong enough to cast out sin. Let your reasons for being holy be found in Christ, for He is made of God unto you sanctification! "I have ever found that the more entirely I lean upon my Lord, the more conscious I am of my own emptiness and unworthiness. And the more completely I rest my whole salvation upon the grace of God in Christ Jesus, the more carefully do I walk in my daily life. He that has this hope in Him purifies himself, even as He is pure. Jesus, the Savior, saves us from our sins, and is made of God to us 'sanctification.'" --Charles Hadon Spurgeon |
