THE glory of God is His goodness, His grace― it shines in the face of Jesus Christ. There is continuance in God’s ways of grace. Failure, alas, comes in, we break down and become troubled and exercised; but grace shines in again, and we hold up our heads and are glad, because we see that the failure has been anticipated, and the precious blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Thus we can rise from our despondency― our feeblemindedness―thus we can rejoice in the Lord. He it is that justifies us freely, by His own perfect grace. “By Him all that believe are justified from all things.” He has lived and died, and having risen again, is gone into heaven. His presence there is for His people. They are complete in Him. His work is finished. Nothing can be added to it―nothing taken from it―it is God’s perfect work for our salvation.
“The sense that we are nothing, makes us glad to forget ourselves, and then it is that Christ becomes everything to the soul.”
