We Must Not Receive The Grace Of God In Vain…

Reformed Pastor James Smith (1802-1862), explains What It Entails TO RECEIVE NOT THE GRACE OF GOD IN VAIN:

” THE GRACE OF GOD IS THE OFFER TO PERSHING MEN. BY THE ‘ GRACE OF GOD’ IN THIS PASSAGE, WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL; WHICH IS A GLORIOUS PROCLAMATION OF FAVOUR SHOWN TO THE VILE AND UNWORTHY.”

“LET US NOT THEN RECEIVE THIS GLORIOUS MESSAGE IN VAIN; WE DO SO IF WE THINK THAT GOD IS ANGEY WITH US; IF WE DOUBT OUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD IN CHRIST; IF WE FEAR THAT HE WILL BE WROTH WITH US. HE INFORMS US OF HIS GRACE TO ENCOURAGE US TO BELIEVE, TO QUICKEN US IN HIS WAY, TO EMBOLDEN US AT HIS THRONE., TO PRODUCE LOVE TO HIS NAME,AND TO FURNISH US WITH AN ANSWER TO ALL OBJECTIONS.”
