SEPTEMBER 20
Thus saith the high and
lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,
whose name is Holy; I dwell in
the high and holy place. . . to revive the
spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite
ones—Isa.
57:15. |
|
Let us ever keep in
memory that a broken and contrite heart the Lord never despises,
will never spurn. Therefore, into whatever difficulty any of the
Lord’s people may stumble, if they find themselves hungering for the
Lord’s fellowship and forgiveness, if they find their hearts
contrite and broken, let them not despair, but remember that God has
made a provision through the merit of Christ which enables Him to
accept and justify freely from all sin all that come unto Him through
Jesus—through faith in His blood… Those who have broken and contrite
hearts on account of their sins may know that they have not
committed “the sin unto death,’ for their condition of heart proves
this, as the Apostle declares: “It is impossible to renew again unto
repentance” an who have committed the sin unto
death. |
