(Isaiah 45:25)In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Good Doctrine is God's teaching.
It tells us of our Election.
It reveals Personal Redemption.
It secures Effectual Calling.
It brings Complete Salvation.
It ensures a Perfect Education.
It proclaims Eternal Preservation.
It preserves from final falling.
It leads “from glory to glory.”
Its entrance gives light and understanding.
Its exercise is the delight of faith.
Its embracings are the joy of hope.
Its revelations are the life of love.
Thomas Bradbury
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. (1 John 5:11,12)
All who have been favored to taste that the Lord is gracious, must have a continued desire, more or less, for an increase, for a multiplying of grace, not only toward them, but in them. Grace includes the everlasting, free, sovereign, discriminating, and immutable love and favor of a Triune Jehovah to all the objects of His eternal choice, His delight in them, His approbation of them in Christ Jesus, as also His secret thoughts concerning them, thoughts of peace and not of evil (John Hobbs)
And then what a stronghold the power of the Holy Spirit has been to us! What should we have done without it? He has holden us up--ah! ever since we were born. It is true He has showed us great troubles and adversities, yet has He turned again and again and refreshed us, and brought us out of the depths of the earth. Many things have been hard, very hard, to bear, and, if left to ourselves, we should have sank under them. But He has comforted us on every side, and now that we have been so long on the road, and proved Him faithful, it becometh us to honor Him, and to "tell of His power to all them that are yet to come."
(George Cowell)
The great and mysterious work of grace in a sinner's heart is not wrought in a day, there is so much to be pulled down, put off, denied, and crucified; and the Lord can do nothing but with broken hearts. O may the Spirit of God quicken you! I hope you will be able by the grace of God to abide by the Word in this time of persecution and disgrace. (James Bourne)
they (elect) shall be brought, by the teaching of God's Spirit, to heartily Confess that of all sinners they are chief; (John Rusk) have you and I been brought to this place of confession?
It is a mercy to be broken off from false religion and Arminian professors, for there is no profit to be had in their free-will scheme; but it often leaves a sting behind. I find the reproach of the cross has not ceased; people will bear with some truths if error be added whereby they are neutralized, but if distinctive truth is put before them, then the enmity is soon seen. O for grace to cling to Jesus, 'sink or swim,' as Hart says." (A. B. Hoblyn)
