We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Indifference is as damning as hostility. To reject the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ will render you as guilty as if you pounded the nails into His hands.
John MacArthur

It is greatly to be feared that there are multitudes in Christendom who verily imagine and sincerely believe that they are among the saved, yet who are total strangers to a work of divine grace in their hearts. It is one thing to have clear intellectual conceptions of God's truth, it is quite another matter to have a personal, real heart acquaintance with it. It is one thing to believe that sin is the awful thing that the Bible says it is, but it is quite another matter to have a holy horror and hatred of it in the soul. It is one thing to know that God requires repentance, it is quite another matter to experimentally mourn and groan over our vileness. It is one thing to believe that Christ is the only Savior for sinners, it is quite another matter to really trust Him from the heart. It is one thing to believe that Christ is the sum of all excellency', it is quite another matter to LOVE HIM above all others. It is one thing to believe that God is the great and holy One, it is quite another matter to truly reverence and fear Him. It is one thing to believe that salvation is of the Lord, it is quite another matter to become an actual partaker of it through His gracious workings.

    EXPOSITION.

    The preservation of the saints bodes ill for their adversaries. The Amalekites thought themselves clear away with their booty, but when David’s God guided him in the pursuit, they were soon overtaken and cut in pieces. When God is with us sins and sorrows flee, and all forms of evil are “_consumed_” before the power of grace. What a noble picture this and the following verses present to us of the victories of our glorious Lord Jesus!

    EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.

    Verses 37,38:– Oh, I have seen the day, When with a single word, God helping me to say, “My trust is in the Lord;” My soul has quelled a thousand foes, Fearless of all that could oppose.

    ^William Cowper, 1731-1800.
