What is Gospel Portions?

Reminders of the gospel that was preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, that you may hold fast to the word preached to you.

Ryan Bush: 00:07

It was a sacred law among the Molossians that whosoever came to the king with his son in his arms should be pardoned whatsoever offense he was guilty of. The Athenian general, therefore, when banished from his country, fled to Admitus, king of the Molossians, his dreadful enemy, and prostrated himself before him with his son in his arms and found favor. God and man are enemies, and there is no use appearing before this dreadful king without his son in our arms. With Christ, there is no fear of rejection. Christ makes us friends with God. Whatever you do, whatever you pray or hear or sing or read, do all in the name of Christ. The admission into God's presence is Christ. It is his blood which has purchased you this great privilege. He alone has turned the seat of justice into a throne of grace. When you approach God, he would be a fire to consume you and not a father to embrace you were it not for his son. Faith in Christ pleases the heart of God. Therefore, when you go to God, be sure to take Christ along with you. Let your prayers be in his name with an eye to his promise. George Swinnock.
