God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
God freely justifies the persons whom he effectually calls. He does this, not by infusing righteousness into them but by pardoning their sins and by accounting them, and accepting them as righteous. This He does for Christ's sake alone and not for anything wrought in them or done by them. The righteousness which is imputed to them, that is, reckoned to their account, is neither their faith nor the act of believing nor any obedience to the gospel which they have rendered, but Christ's obedience alone. Christ’s one obedience is twofold – His active obedience rendered to the entire divine law, and His passive obedience rendered in his death.
The night dews of affliction and disappointment may fall thickly upon it – the storms of sorrow may beat heavily against it – the winds of adversity may howl fearfully around it – but, like those fabled lamps of which we read, that, century after century, illumined the sepulchers of the east – burning with calm and steady light, amid the desolation of all earthly things – unchanged and unextinguishable; so does this joy – this living spark struck off from the great source of light and life – outlive all deaths, all changes, until it accompanies the freed spirit of the believer in whom it dwells, back to those abodes of joy from whence it came.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then stir in the egg and
vanilla. Add the combined dry ingredients, blending well. Stir in the
cheese, apples and nuts. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the dough onto an
ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Remove
from the cookie sheet and cool on a wire rack or plate.
