Faith’s Check Book
By Charles H. Spurgeon
NO CONDEMNATION
"In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the
iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins
of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I
reserve" Jeremiah 50:20
A glorious word indeed! What a perfect pardon is here
promised to the sinful nations of Israel and Judah! Sin is to be so removed
that it shall not be found, so blotted out that there shall be none. Glory be
unto the God of pardons!
Satan seeks out sins wherewith to accuse us, our enemies
seek them that they may lay them to our charge, and our own conscience seeks
them even with a morbid eagerness. But when the Lord applies the precious blood
of Jesus, we fear no form of search, for "there shall be none,"
"they shall not be found." The Lord hath caused the sins of His
people to cease to be: He hath finished transgression, and made an end of sin.
The sacrifice of Jesus has cast our sins into the depths of the sea. This makes
us dance for joy.
The reason for the obliteration of sin lies in the fact that
Jehovah Himself pardons His chosen ones. His word of grace is not only royal,
but divine. He speaks absolution, and we are absolved. He applies the
atonement, and from that hour His people are beyond all fear of condemnation.
Blessed be the name of the sin-annihilating God!
Thought’s for the Quiet Hour
Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth
Hebrews 12:6
We should ever bear in mind that the discipline of our
heavenly Father’s hand is to be interpreted in the light of our Father’s
countenance; and the deep mysteries of His moral government to be contemplated
through the medium of His tender love.
