C.H. Spurgeon wrote on the sufficiency of Jesus,
Do not tell
me that there is no rest for us till we get to heaven. We who have believed in Jesus enter into rest
even now. Why should we not do so? Our salvation is complete. The robe of righteousness in which we are
clad is finished. The atonement for our
sins is fully made. We are reconciled to
God, beloved of the Father, preserved by His grace, and supplied by His
providence with all that we need. We
carry all our burdens to Him and leave them at His feet. We spend our lives in His service, and we
find His ways to be ways of pleasantness, and His paths to be paths of
peace. Oh, yes, we have found rest unto
our souls! I recollect the first day
that I ever rested in Christ, and I did rest that day. And so will all of you who trust in Jesus as
I trusted in him.
...Your main and
principal motive as a Christian should always be to live for Christ. To live for glory? Yes, but for his glory. To live for comfort? Yes, but be all your consolation in him. To live for pleasure? Yes, but when you are merry, sing psalms, and
make melody in your hearts to the Lord. To live for wealth?
Yes, but to be rich in faith. You
may lay up treasure, but lay it up in heaven.
...I have a
great need for Christ; I have a great Christ for my need.
This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
