Never Separated from God

"And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believeth thou
this?" (John 11:26).

Yes, LORD, we believe it; we shall never die. Our soul may be separated from
our body, and this is death of a kind; but our soul shall never be separated
from God, which is the true death -- the death which was threatened to sin --
the death penalty which is the worst that can happen. We believe this most
assuredly, for who shall separate us from the love of God which is in Christ
Jesus our LORD? We are members of the Body of Christ; will Christ lose parts of
His Body? We are married to Jesus; will He be bereaved and widowed? It is not
possible. There is a life within us which is not capable of being divided from
God: yea, and the Holy Spirit dwells within us, and how then can we die? Jesus,
Himself, is our life, and therefore there is no dying for us, for He cannot die
again. In Him we died unto sin once, and the capital sentence cannot a second
time be executed. Now we live, and live forever. The reward of righteousness is
life everlasting, and we have nothingless than the righteousness of God, and
therefore can claim the very highest reward.

Living and believing, we believe that we shall live and enjoy. Wherefore we
press forward with full assurance that our life is secure in our living Head.

For Public Fast or Humiliation. Joel. 1. 14; 2. 15-17




1 Lord, look on all assembled here, Who in thy presence stand
To offer up united prayer
For this our sinful land.

2 [Oft have we each in private prayed Our country might find grace;
Now hear the same petitions made
In this appointed place.

3 Or, if among us some be met,
So careless of their sin,
They have not cried for mercy yet,
Lord, make them now begin.]

4 Thou, by whose death poor sinners live, By whom their prayers succeed,
Thy Spirit of supplication give,
And we shall pray indeed.

5 We will not slack, nor give thee rest, But importune thee so
That, till we shall by thee be blest, We will not let thee go.

6 Great God of Hosts, deliverance bring; Guide those that hold the helm;
Support the state, preserve the king, And spare the guilty realm.

7 Or, should the dread decree be past, And we must feel thy rod,
May faith and patience hold us fast To our correcting God.

8 Whatever be our destined case,
Accept us in thy Son;
Give us his gospel and his grace,
And then, Thy will be done.
