"I will love them freely."

"I will love them freely."—Hosea 14:4.

THIS sentence is a body of divinity in miniature.

 He who understands its meaning is a theologian, 

and he who can dive into its fulness is a true master in Israel. 

It is a condensation of the glorious message of salvation which was 

delivered to us in Christ Jesus our Redeemer.

 The sense hinges upon the word "freely." 

This is the glorious, the suitable, the divine way by which love streams from heaven to earth, a spontaneous love flowing forth to those who neither deserved it, purchased it, nor sought after it. 

It is, indeed, the only way in which God can love such as we are. 

The text is a death-blow to all sorts of fitness: "I will love them freely." 

Now, if there were any fitness necessary in us, then He would not love us freely, at least, this would be a mitigation and a drawback to the freeness of it. 

But it stands, "I will love you freely."

We complain, "Lord, my heart is so hard."

 "I will love you freely."

 "But I do not feel my need of Christ as I could wish." 

"I will not love you because you feel your need; I will love you freely." 

"But I do not feel that softening of spirit which I could desire." 

Remember, the softening of spirit is not a condition, for there are no conditions; the covenant of grace has no conditionality whatever; so that we without any fitness may venture upon the promise of God which was made to us in Christ Jesus, when He said, 

"He that believeth on Him is not condemned." 

It is blessed to know that the grace of God is free to us at all times, without preparation, 

without fitness, without money, and without price! 

"I will love them freely."

 These words invite backsliders to return: indeed, the text was specially written for such—

"I will heal their backsliding; I will love them freely." 

Backslider! 

surely the generosity of the promise will at once break your heart, 

and you will return, and seek your injured Father's face.

God's Multiplication Table

God's Multiplication Table

A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time. (Isaiah 60:22)

Works for the Lord often begin on a small scale, and they are none the worse for this.

 Feebleness educates faith, brings God near, and wins glory for His name. 

Prize promises of increase! Mustard seed is the smallest among seeds, and yet it becomes a treelike plant, with branches which lodge the birds of heaven.

 We may begin with one, and that "a little one," and yet it will "become a thousand."

 The Lord is great at the multiplication table.

 How often did He say to His lone servant, 

"I will multiply thee!" Trust in the Lord, ye ones and twos; for He will be in the midst of you if you are gathered in His name.

"A small one." What can be more despicable in the eyes of those who count heads and weigh forces! Yet this is the nucleus of a great nation. 

Only one star shines out at first in the evening, but soon the sky is crowded with countless lights.

Nor need we think the prospect of increase to be remote, for the promise is, "I Jehovah will hasten it in his time." There will be no premature haste, like that which we see at excited meetings; it will be all in due time, but yet there will be no delay. 

When the Lord hastens, His speed is glorious.

Determined to go through !!!

In the Garden, when the bloody sweat fell from his face, and he said, 

“If it be possible, let this cup pass from me,” 

why did he not put away that cup?

 If it had pleased him he might have applied for twelve legions of angels, and they would have come to the rescue; 

why did he not summon that celestial body-guard?

 Was it not because he had wholly surrendered himself to the service of our salvation?

 Before his judges he might have saved himself. 

Why did he not? 

One word when he was before Pilate would have broken the spell of prophecy, 

but why like a sheep before her shearers was he dumb? 

Why did he give his back to the smiters, 

and his cheeks to those that plucked off the hair?

 Why did he condescend to die, 

and actually upon the cross pour out his heart’s blood?

 It was all because he had undertaken for us, and he would go through.

From Every Sin

From Every Sin

He shall save his people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21)

Lord, save me from my sins. 

By the name of Jesus I am encouraged thus to pray. 

Save me from my past sins, that the habit of them may not hold me captive.

 Save me from my constitutional sins, that I may not be the slave of my own weaknesses. 

Save me from the sins which are continually under my eye that I may not lose my horror of them. Save me from secret sins; sins unperceived by me from my want of light.

 Save me from sudden and surprising sins: let me not be carried off my feet by a rush of temptation. 

Save me, Lord, from every sin. Let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Thou alone canst do this.

 I cannot snap my own chains or slay my own enemies. 

Thou knowest temptation, for Thou wast tempted. 

Thou knowest sin, for Thou didst bear the weight of it. 

Thou knowest how to succor me in my hour of conflict; Thou canst save me from sinning and save me when I have sinned. 

It is promised in Thy very name that Thou wilt do this, and I pray Thee let me this day verify the prophecy. 

Let me not give way to temper, or pride, or despondency, or any form of evil; but do Thou save me unto holiness of life, that the name of Jesus may be glorified in me abundantly.

We must seek in God's way !!!

No good can result from efforts made apart from faith in Jesus. 

However earnest and sincere we may be, we must fail in our search if we do not seek in God’s way.

 Would it not be wise after so many bitter disappointments to leave your own inventions? 

If they have done you no good, depend upon it they never will. 

You had better humble yourself as a little child, and learn from God what the plan of salvation is, and then obediently accept it. 

Come, poor soul, in humble obedience, read the sacred roll of inspiration, and say, “O Lord, show me what thou wouldst have me to do;” then will light break in upon you, and peace shall follow. 

Faith in Jesus is God’s way; it will be the height of folly to set up a method of your own in competition therewith.

Regulated Chastisement

Regulated Chastisement

I will correct thee in measure. (Jeremiah 30:11)

To be left uncorrected would be a fatal sign: it would prove that the Lord had said, 
"He is given unto idols, let him alone." 


God grant that such may never be our portion!
 Uninterrupted prosperity is a thing to cause fear and trembling.


 As many as God tenderly loves He rebukes and chastens: those for whom He has no esteem He allows to fatten themselves without fear, like bullocks for the slaughter.


 It is in love that our heavenly Father uses the rod upon His children.
Yet see, the correction is in measure": He gives us love without measure but chastisement "in measure." 


As under the old law no Israelite could receive more than the "forty stripes save one," which ensured careful counting and limited suffering; so is it with each afflicted member of the household of faith-every stroke is counted. 


It is the measure of wisdom, the measure of sympathy, the measure of love, by which our chastisement is regulated. 


Far be it from us to rebel against appointments so divine. 


Lord, if Thou standest by to measure the bitter drops into my cup, it is for me cheerfully to take that cup from Thy hand and drink according to Thy directions, saying, "Thy will be done."

The sin of sins !!!

In order that Jesus Christ, being appointed, should be fit for his office, it was necessary that he should become man.


 Man had sinned, and man must make reparation to the broken law.


 God would not accept an angel as a substitute, for the law had to do with man, and as the race had revolted, it must be through one of the race that God’s justice should be vindicated. 


But Jesus was God: how then could he become our Savior? 
Behold the mystery! God was manifest in the flesh. 


He descended to the manger of Bethlehem, he nestled in a woman’s bosom; for as the children were partakers of flesh and blood he himself also took part in the same. 


Sinner, behold your incarnate God, the Eternal one, dwells among dying men, veiled in their mortal flesh, that he may save men.

This is the greatest fact ever related in human ears. We hear it as a common thing, but the angels have never ceased to wonder since first they sang of it and charmed the listening shepherds. 


God has come down to man to lift man up to God. Surely it is the sin of sins if we reject a Savior who has made such a stoop in order to be perfectly qualified to save.
