We must be taught of God

We must be taught of God

J.C.Philpot

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Four things are absolutely necessary to be experimentally known and felt before we can arrive at any saving or sanctifying knowledge of the truth—

1. Divine light in the understanding.

2. Spiritual faith in the heart.

3. Godly fear in the conscience.

4. Heavenly love in the affections.

Without light we cannot see. Without faith we cannot believe. Without godly fear we cannot reverentially adore. Without love we cannot embrace Him who is the way, the truth, and the life. We must be taught of God and receive the kingdom of heaven as a little child—or we shall never enter therein.

The Union Of Christ And His People

It often happens, in the Psalms, that you can scarcely tell whether it is David, or the Lord Jesus, or both of them, to whom the writer is referring. Oftentimes you lose sight of David altogether, and are quiet certain that he is not there; while, at other times, the words seem equally suited either to David as the type, or to Jesus as the antitype. I think that this fact is very instructive to us. It is as the Holy Ghost intended, even in those ancient times, to let God’s saints know that there is a mysterious union between Christ and His people, so that almost all things which may be said concerning Him may be said, also, concerning those who are in Him. They are so completely one, they are so intimately united in bonds of mystic, vital, conjugal, eternal union, that it would not be possible always to keep the sayings concerning them apart. — Charles Spurgeon

Because He loved her – Octavius Winslow

Jesus sustains no association to His Church more expressive than that of the marriage relationship. From all eternity He forever betrothed her to Himself. He asked her at the hands of her Father—and the Father gave her to Him. He entered into a covenant that she would be His. The conditions of that covenant were great, but not too great for His love to undertake. They were, that He should assume her nature, discharge her legal obligations, endure her punishment, repair her ruin, and bring her to glory! He undertook all, and He accomplished all, because He loved her! The love of Jesus to His Church is the love of the most tender husband. It is single, constant, affectionate, matchless, wonderful. Jesus sympathizes with her, nourishes her, provides for her, clothes her, watches over, and indulges her with the most intimate and endearing tenderness.
