Covenants Touching Lives...
Choose Life... and they overcame by the blood
of the Lamb, and the word of their
testimony
Chapter 1:The Preaching of the Cross If Christ's sacrifice was not sufficient to take
care of all
our
sins, past, present and future, we could never have spiritual rest.
Heb.
4:11. If our salvation depended on his death plus or minus anything we
would always have room for doubt. Either we are complete in him or we
are
not. Thank God! The word says, "And ye are complete in him, which
is the head of all principality and power." Col. 2:10. (Context)
Chapter 2:The Person and Work of
Christ As long as we think we are righteous because of
our own
human merit
or religious good works we will never find rest. Regardless of how
zealous
and diligent we are, failure on one point opens the door for Satan to
accuse
and condemn us. (Context)
Chapter 3:A Foundation Laid in Zion
God's purpose from before the foundation of the
world was to
have
a people he could share his glory with. It is this people that were
redeemed
at Calvary. It is this people that are one by one being brought to the
knowledge of their salvation. It was for the benefit of this people
that
ministries of men and angels were given. (Context)
Chapter 4:Chosen in Him Until we see that salvation begins with God and
ends with
God we
will never have rest. This is the sure foundation that he would have us
to build our hope on. Anything less is subject to the assault of Satan
and unbelief. The so-called gospel that puts more emphasis on what man
must do or not do to be saved will never bring us rest. (Context)
Introduction
This book represents a collection of four articles published in the
Midnight
Cry Messenger in 1981 and 1982.
Since
these articles appeared, the pace of startling change in our world has
quickened dramatically. As our world careens blindly toward its fiery
end,
we need, as never before, to be certain we are built upon the Sure
Foundation.
This is no time for spiritual complacency. The world and its
inhabitants
are in the same condition that they were before the flood when the
imaginations
of men's hearts were only evil continually. Though many were no doubt
religious,
yet they weren't really concerned about God and His ways or they would
have listened to Noah. The condition of their hearts blinded their eyes
and deafened their ears to the voice of God.
Today, many of God's little remnant are asleep and need to be
awakened
and prepared for the soon return of our Lord. Many who count themselves
as believers are deceived by religion and need to do as Paul counselled
in II Cor. 13:5, "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;
prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus
Christ
is in you. except ye be reprobates?"
God is permitting Satan to unleash a flood of spiritual darkness
upon
our world on a scale never seen before in history. Only
those on the Sure Foundation will survive. God is rapidly
finishing
up His work before judgment falls.
Jesus is
to believers the one pearl of great price as for me, to
live is
Christ
Philippians 1:21
The believer did not always
live
to Christ. He
began to do so
when God the Holy Spirit convinced him of sin, and when by grace he was
brought to see the dying Saviour making a propitiation for his guilt.
From the moment of the new and celestial birth the man begins
to live
to Christ.
Jesus is
to believers the one pearl of great
price,
for
whom
we are willing to part with all that we have. He has so completely won
our heart's first
love, that it beats alone for Him; to His glory we would
live,
and
in defence of His gospel we would die; He is the pattern of our life,
and the model after which we
would sculpture our character.
Can
you say, as a professing Christian,
that you live up
to this idea? Can you honestly say that for you to live is Christ? Your
business-are you
doing it for Christ? Is it not done for
self-aggrandizement and for family advantage? Do you ask, "Is that a
mean reason?" For the Christian it is. He professes to live for Christ;
how can he live for another object without committing a spiritual
adultery? Many there are who carry out this principle in some measure;
but who is
there that dare say that he hath lived wholly for Christ as
the apostle did?
Yet, this alone is the true life of a Christian-its
source, its sustenance, its fashion, its end, all gathered up in one
word-Christ
Jesus. Lord, accept me;
I here present myself, praying
to
live only in Thee and to Thee.
Let
me be as the bullock which stands
between the plough and the altar,
to
work or to be
sacrificed; and let
my motto be:
JOY
TO THE
WORLD... 
THE
LORD HAS
COME 
Foundation.
LORD OF LORDS
