"Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out."

"Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out."—John 6:37.

NO limit is set to the duration of this promise.

 It does not merely say, "I will not cast out a sinner at his first coming," but, "I will in no wise cast out." The original reads, "I will not, not cast out," or "I will never, never cast out." The text means, that Christ will not at first reject a believer; and that as He will not do it at first, so He will not to the last.

But suppose the believer sins after coming?

"If any man sin we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."

But suppose that believers backslide? "I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for Mine anger is turned away from him."

But believers may fall under temptation! "God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

 But the believer may fall into sin as David did! Yes, but He will "Purge them with hyssop, and they shall be clean; He will wash them and they shall be whiter than snow"; "From all their iniquities will I cleanse them."

"Once in Christ, in Christ for ever,
Nothing from His love can sever."

"I give unto My sheep," saith He,

"eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand."

 What sayest thou to this, O trembling feeble mind?

 Is not this a precious mercy, that coming to Christ, thou dost not come to One who will treat thee well for a little while, and then send thee about thy business, but He will receive thee and make thee His bride, and thou shalt be His for ever? 

Receive no longer the spirit of bondage again to fear, but the spirit of adoption whereby thou shalt cry, Abba, Father!

 Oh! the grace of these words: "I will in no wise cast out."

"All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me."

"All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me."—John 6:37.

THIS declaration involves the doctrine of election:

there are some whom the Father gave to Christ. 

It involves the doctrine of effectual calling:

 these who are given must and shall come; however stoutly they may set themselves against it, 

yet they shall be brought out of darkness into God's marvellous light. 

It teaches us the indispensable necessity of faith;

 for even those who are given to Christ are not saved except they come to Jesus. 

Even they must come, for there is no other way to heaven but by the door, Christ Jesus. 

All that the Father gives to our Redeemer must come to Him, therefore none can come to heaven except they come to Christ.

Oh! the power and majesty which rest in the words "shall come."

 He does not say they have power to come, nor they may come if they will, but they "shall come." The Lord Jesus doth by His messengers, His word, and His Spirit, sweetly and graciously compel men to come in that they may eat of His marriage supper; and this He does, not by any violation of the free agency of man, but by the power of His grace.

 I may exercise power over another man's will, and yet that other man's will may be perfectly free, because the constraint is exercised in a manner accordant with the laws of the human mind. Jehovah Jesus knows how, by irresistible arguments addressed to the understanding, by mighty reasons appealing to the affections, and by the mysterious influence of His Holy Spirit operating upon all the powers and passions of the soul, so to subdue the whole man, that whereas he was once rebellious, he yields cheerfully to His government, subdued by sovereign love. 

But how shall those be known whom God hath chosen? By this result: that they do willingly and joyfully accept Christ, and come to Him with simple and unfeigned faith, resting upon Him as all their salvation and all their desire. 

Reader, have you thus come to Jesus?

"Who went about doing good."

"Who went about doing good."

Acts 10:38.

FEW words, but yet an exquisite miniature of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There are not many touches, but they are the strokes of a master's pencil. 

Of the Saviour and only of the Saviour is it true in the fullest, broadest, and most unqualified sense. 

"He went about doing good."

From this description it is evident that He did good personally.

 The evangelists constantly tell us that He touched the leper with His own finger, that He anointed the eyes of the blind, and that in cases where He was asked to speak the word only at a distance, 

He did not usually comply, but went Himself to the sick bed, and there personally wrought the cure. 

A lesson to us, if we would do good, to do it ourselves. 

Give alms with your own hand; a kind look, or word, will enhance the value of the gift. 

Speak to a friend about his soul; your loving appeal will have more influence than a whole library of tracts. Our Lord's mode of doing good sets forth His incessant activity! He did not only the good which came close to hand, but He "went about" on His errands of mercy. 

Throughout the whole land of Judea there was scarcely a village or a hamlet which was not gladdened by the sight of Him. How this reproves the creeping, loitering manner, in which many professors serve the Lord. Let us gird up the loins of our mind, and be not weary in well doing. 

Does not the text imply that Jesus Christ went out of His way to do good?

 "He went about doing good." 

He was never deterred by danger or difficulty. He sought out the objects of His gracious intentions.

 So must we. If old plans will not answer, we must try new ones, for fresh experiments sometimes achieve more than regular methods. Christ's perseverance, and the unity of His purpose, are also hinted at, and the practical application of the subject may be summed up in the words, 

"He hath left us an example that we should follow in His steps."

SEEK THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY !!!

1 Thessalonians 3:12 (NIV). 

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you....... 

Thoughts on This Verse... 

God is love. God is also the source of love. 

He pours love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit

 (Romans 5:5). 

So how do we make our churches, our families, our small groups, and communities more loving? 

We pray for God to grow the love in those in groups, 

let them know that we are praying that prayer for them, 

then communicate and demonstrate

 our love to those very same groups.

"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?"

"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?"

—Romans 8:33.

MOST blessed challenge! 

How unanswerable it is! 

Every sin of the elect was laid upon the great Champion of our salvation, and by the atonement carried away. 

There is no sin in God's book against His people: He seeth no sin in Jacob, neither iniquity in Israel; they are justified in Christ for ever. 

When the guilt of sin was taken away, the punishment of sin was removed. 

For the Christian there is no stroke from God's angry hand—nay, not so much as a single frown of punitive justice. The believer may be chastised by his Father, but God the Judge has nothing to say to the Christian, except "I have absolved thee: thou art acquitted." For the Christian there is no penal death in this world, much less any second death. 

He is completely freed from all the punishment as well as the guilt of sin, and the power of sin is removed too. It may stand in our way, and agitate us with perpetual warfare; but sin is a conquered foe to every soul in union with Jesus. 

There is no sin which a Christian cannot overcome if he will only rely upon his God to do it. They who wear the white robe in heaven overcame through the blood of the Lamb, and we may do the same. 

No lust is too mighty, no besetting sin too strongly entrenched; we can overcome through the power of Christ. Do believe it, Christian, that thy sin is a condemned thing. It may kick and struggle, but it is doomed to die. God has written condemnation across its brow. 

Christ has crucified it, "nailing it to His cross." 

Go now and mortify it, and the Lord help you to live to His praise, for sin with all its guilt, shame, and fear, is gone.

"Here's pardon for transgressions past,
It matters not how black their cast;
And, O my soul, with wonder view,
For sins to come here's pardon too."

DEAD TO SIN !!!

Romans 6:11-12 (NIV).

 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires....... 

Thoughts on This Verse...

 If we have been cleansed from perversity, if we have died with Christ in baptism and have been cleansed thoroughly and completely by the Holy Spirit, then let's live for God! 

Let's resist sin, and our inclination to sin, with all our might, knowing that as we do, the Holy Spirit will empower us to a much greater righteousness than we could ever live on our own. 

Let's begin each day with a conscious decision to be dead to our sinful past and alive to the goal of the holy character of God!

DWELLING IN HIS MIGHTY WINGS !!!

I  LOVE THIS PICTURE, THIS IS THE WAY THE LORD 

COVERS US WITH HIS LOVE..

Psalm 91

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 91

 ¹ Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High 

   will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 

² I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, 

   my God, in whom I trust.”

 ³ Surely he will save you

   from the fowler’s snare

   and from the deadly pestilence.

⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,

   and under his wings you will find refuge;

   his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,

   nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

   nor the plague that destroys at midday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,

   ten thousand at your right hand,

   but it will not come near you.

⁸ You will only observe with your eyes

   and see the punishment of the wicked.

 ⁹ If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”

   and you make the Most High your dwelling,

¹⁰ no harm will overtake you,

   no disaster will come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you

   to guard you in all your ways;

¹² they will lift you up in their hands,

   so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

   you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

 ¹⁴ “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;

   I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him;

   I will be with him in trouble,

   I will deliver him and honor him.

¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him

   and show him my salvation.”

"That He may set him with princes."

"That He may set him with princes."

Psalm 113:8.

OUR spiritual privileges are of the highest order.

"Among princes" is the place of select society. "

Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ."

Speak of select society, there is none like this!

"We are a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood."

"We are come unto the general assembly and church of the first-born, whose names are written in heaven."

 The saints have courtly audience: princes have admittance to royalty when common people must stand afar off. The child of God has free access to the inner courts of heaven.

 "For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father."

"Let us come boldly," says the apostle, "to the throne of the heavenly grace."

 Among princes there is abundant wealth,

 but what is the abundance of princes compared with the riches of believers? for

"all things are yours, and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's."

"He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Princes have peculiar power.

A prince of heaven's empire has great influence: he wields a sceptre in his own domain; he sits upon Jesus' throne, for

"He hath made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall reign for ever and ever."

We reign over the united kingdom of time and eternity. Princes, again, have special honour.

We may look down upon all earth-born dignity from the eminence upon which grace has placed us.

For what is human grandeur to this,

"He hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus"?

We share the honour of Christ, and compared with this, earthly splendours are not worth a thought. Communion with Jesus is a richer gem than ever glittered in imperial diadem.

Union with the Lord is a coronet of beauty outshining all the blaze of imperial pomp.

"In their affliction they will seek Me early."

"In their affliction they will seek Me early."—
Hosea 5:15.

LOSSES and adversities 

are frequently the means which the great Shepherd 

uses to fetch home His wandering sheep; like fierce dogs they worry the wanderers back to the fold. There is no making lions tame if they are too well fed; they must be brought down from their great strength, and their stomachs must be lowered, and then they will submit to the tamer's hand; and often have we seen the Christian rendered obedient to the Lord's will by straitness of bread and hard labour. 

When rich and increased in goods many professors carry their heads much too loftily, and speak exceeding boastfully.

 Like David, they flatter themselves, 

"My mountain standeth fast; I shall never be moved." 

When the Christian groweth wealthy, is in good repute, hath good health, and a happy family, he too often admits Mr. Carnal Security to feast at his table, and then if he be a true child of God there is a rod preparing for him. 

Wait awhile, and it may be you will see his substance melt away as a dream. There goes a portion of his estate—how soon the acres change hands. That debt, that dishonoured bill—how fast his losses roll in, where will they end? It is a blessed sign of divine life if when these embarrassments occur one after another he begins to be distressed about his backslidings, and betakes himself to his God. 

Blessed are the waves that wash the mariner upon the rock of salvation! Losses in business are often sanctified to our soul's enriching. If the chosen soul will not come to the Lord full-handed, it shall come empty. 

If God, in His grace, findeth no other means of making us honour Him among men, He will cast us into the deep; if we fail to honour Him on the pinnacle of riches, He will bring us into the valley of poverty. 

Yet faint not, heir of sorrow, when thou art thus rebuked, rather recognize the loving hand which chastens, and say, 

"I will arise, and go unto my Father."

Meditation

C. H. Spurgeon

"His camp is very great."

"His camp is very great."—Joel 2:11.

CONSIDER, my soul, the mightiness of the Lord 

who is thy glory and defence. 

He is a man of war, Jehovah is His name. 

All the forces of heaven are at His beck, 

legions wait at His door, cherubim and seraphim;, watchers and holy ones, principalities and powers, are all attentive to His will.

 If our eyes were not blinded by the ophthalmia of the flesh, we should see horses of fire and chariots of fire round about the Lord's beloved. The powers of nature are all subject to the absolute control of the Creator: stormy wind and tempest, lightning and rain, and snow, and hail, and the soft dews and cheering sunshine, come and go at His decree. 

The bands of Orion He looseth, and bindeth the sweet influences of the Pleiades. Earth, sea, and air, and the places under the earth, are the barracks for Jehovah's great armies; space is His camping ground, light is His banner, and flame is His sword. 

When He goeth forth to war, famine ravages the land, pestilence smites the nations, hurricane sweeps the sea, tornado shakes the mountains, and earthquake makes the solid world to tremble. As for animate creatures, they all own His dominion, and from the great fish which swallowed the prophet, down to "all manner of flies," which plagued the field of Zoan, all are His servants, and like the palmer-worm, the caterpillar, and the cankerworm, are squadrons of His great army, for His camp is very great.

 My soul, see to it that thou be at peace with this mighty King, yea, more, be sure to enlist under His banner, for to war against Him is madness, and to serve Him is glory. 

Jesus, Immanuel, God with us, is ready to receive recruits for the army of the Lord: if I am not already enlisted let me go to Him ere I sleep, and beg to be accepted through His merits; and if I be already, as I hope I am, a soldier of the cross, let me be of good courage; for the enemy is powerless compared with my Lord, whose camp is very great.
