THE
PERSUASION
"I know whom I have believed, and
am persuaded that he is able to keep
that which
I have committed unto him
against that day." 2 Timothy 1:12
that he had no doubt of his willingness
to
take care of him,
seeing he was able.
seeing he was able.
It is a great thing to know Christ.
To know . . .
Who he is — the Son of God.
What he is — the only Saviour.
Where he is — at the right hand of God.
What he has done — provided a full salvation.
What he is doing — making intercession for his people.
We shall put ourselves into his hands,
to be
washed in his blood,
clothed in his righteousness,
sanctified by his Spirit, and
to be kept by his power, through faith,
unto perfect
salvation.
My
friend, you know Jesus — do you not?
His name has been music in your ears, and his glorious work the only foundation of your hope.
You have committed your soul into the hands of Jesus, have you not?
Then you are safe, and you should be at peace.
Jesus never refuses to receive a soul that hastens to him,
and he
never fails to keep one whom he receives.
He has kept you in time past,
you are a proof of his faithfulness at present,
and
he will keep you to the very end.
He is able to keep you:
however weak you are,
whatever you suffer,
though Satan may thrust sore at you,
that you may fall.
if your eye is fixed on him,
if your heart rests on his Word, and
if you plead with him in simple prayer to do so.
Jesus is as stable as the solid rock.
Though
you have fears, Jesus is faithful.
He
will perfect that which concerns you;
his mercy endures forever,
nor will he
forsake the work of his own hands.
Place your confidence in him,
though you are
a poor, sinful, unworthy creature,
and he will keep you in perfect peace.
