Spurgeon: September AM
* 09/19/AM
"The liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free."
--Galatians 5:1
This "liberty" makes us free to heaven's charter-- the
Bible . Here is a choice passage, believer, "When thou passest
through the rivers, I will be with thee." You are free to that.
Here is another: "The mountains shall depart, and the hills be
removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee"; you are
free to that. You are a welcome guest at the table of the
promises. Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled with
boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may
draw from it as much as you please, without let or hindrance.
Come in faith and you are welcome to all covenant blessings .
There is not a promise in the Word which shall be withheld. In
the depths of tribulations let this freedom comfort you; amidst
waves of distress let it cheer you; when sorrows surround thee
let it be thy solace. This is thy Father's love-token; thou art
free to it at all times. Thou art also free to the throne of
grace . It is the believer's privilege to have access at all
times to His heavenly Father. Whatever our desires, our
difficulties, our wants, we are at liberty to spread all before
Him. It matters not how much we may have sinned, we may ask and
expect pardon. It signifies nothing how poor we are, we may
plead His promise that He will provide all things needful. We
have permission to approach His throne at all times--in
midnight's darkest hour, or in noontide's most burning heat.
Exercise thy right, O believer, and live up to thy privilege.
Thou art free to all that is treasured up in Christ --wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. It matters not
what thy need is, for there is fulness of supply in Christ, and
it is there for thee . O what a "freedom" is thine! freedom
from condemnation, freedom to the promises, freedom to the
throne of grace, and at last freedom to enter heaven!
