(J.M.;21635)
But for the special and unceasing grace of God(Letters of
J. C. Philpot)It is a most rich and unspeakable mercy, thatthose whom Jesus loves, He loves to the end,and that His sheep shall never perish, neithershall anyone snatch them out of His hand.This is the grand security of the saints of God; for . . . their inherent sinfulness and weakness are so great, Satan is so crafty and so strong, sin so powerful and deceptive, and the world so entangling and alluring,that but for the special and unceasing grace ofGod, they must perish, and concerning faith makesure and awful shipwreck."I give them eternal life, and they will never perish—ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand!" (John 10:28)
Interesting quote in red. How about, "Love a man, not his sin." Who wants to LOVE SIN? Just a curious quote. For example dear sir, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men ..." Romans 1:18. In other words, always love the ungodly and unrighteous, but never the ungodliness and unrighteousness (the sin perhaps?). blessings in Christ,Jake
