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.
For nothing good have I, whereby thy grace declaim. I'll wash my garments white in the blood of Calvary's lamb. And when before the throne, I stand in him complete, Jesus died my soul to save, my lips shall still repeat. Jesus paid it all. All to him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. Elvina Hall.
Ryan Bush:The first of his comforts is this, that he has said to my soul, I am your salvation. He saves us, not because of any merit in us or any deserving of our own, but because sovereign grace chose us and divine compassion redeemed us. And when we were far off, infinite pity brought us back and made us near by the precious blood of Christ. A saved sinner can truly say, your comforts delight my soul. Susanna Spurgeon.
Ryan Bush:A poor sinner may be driven to a stand after this manner. I have therefore committed many sins God hath sealed up the pardon of them unto me. But what if more sins, if more horror sees upon my heart, how then shall I succor myself? But now this is the fullness and the sufficiency of mercy. It doth not only ease a man in regard of present necessity, but lays provision for all future wants and calamities that can befall the soul. Thomas Hooker.
