HEBREWS
10:35
Cast
not away therefore your confidence,
which
hath great recompence of reward.
Every
believer is confident that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the sent of God; that He
is the only Saviour, and the eternal God.
He
is confident that heaven is promised to all true believers, and is certain to
all holy disciples.
He
gives credit to God's word, which reveals the same, is fully satisfied of its
truth, and finds courage and boldness to profess the same.
His
confidence being produced by the Holy Spirit, and grounded on the divine word,
will lead him to commit his all to the divine blessings; to surrender all to
the divine will; to part with all in Christ’s quarrel; to rest on the word and
veracity of the Lord Jesus.
His
confidence will often be assailed and sharply tried; but it must be maintained,
for we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our
confidence steadfast unto the end.
It
has great recompense of reward, in the present life a hundred-fold for all it
parts with for Christ; and in the world to come life everlasting.
Beloved,
let us hold fast our confidence and rejoicing of hope firm unto the end; for if
any man draw back God will have no pleasure in him.
Protect me in the dangerous hour
And
from the wily tempter’s power,
Oh,
set my spirit free!
And
if temptation should assail,
May
mighty grace o’er all prevail,
And
lead my heart to Thee.
James
Smith
