A
remnant shall be saved.
Romans
9:27
there always have been a remnant, and
never more than a remnant.
but many of them taken from among the worst.
who purchased them by the blood of his Son.
the whole remnant shall be saved from Satan, sin, and wrath.
for the purposes passed,
the provision is made,
the promise is given,
the Saviour has appeared,
the Spirit is sent, and
the good news of salvation is proclaimed.
Do
we belong to this remnant?
If
so, Christ is precious to us.
We
are but strangers and pilgrims upon the earth.
We often think of and speak for God.
We are a praying people.
We mourn over sin, and from sympathy with God.
We are a holy people, and would rather suffer than sin.
We cannot live without fellowship with God, or
rest in any present attainments.
These
are some of the characteristics of God's remnant,
do we possess them?

Jesus,
to thee we now would fly,
And
on thy precious blood rely;
Find,
through the conduct of thy grace,
That
we’re among the chosen race.
