He Freely Gives

"He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He
not with Him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32).

If this is not a promise in form, it is in fact. Indeed, it is more than one
promise, it is a conglomerate of promises. It is a mass of rubies, and
emeralds, and diamonds, with a nugget of gold for their setting. It is a
question which can never be answered so as to cause us any anxiety of heart.
What can the LORD deny us after giving us Jesus? If we need all things in
heaven and earth, He will grant them to us: for if there had been a limit
anywhere, He would have kept back His own Son.What do I want today? I have only
to ask for it. I may seek earnestly, but not as if I had to use pressure and
extort an unwilling gift from the LORD's hand; for He will give freely. Of His
own He gave us His own Son. Certainly no one would have proposed such a gift to
Him. No one would have ventured to ask for it. It would have been too
presumptuous. He freely gave His Only-begotten, and, O my soul, canst thou not
trust thy heavenly Father to give thee anything, to give thee everything? Thy
poor prayer would have no force with Omnipotence if force were needed; but His
love, like a spring, rises of itself and overflows for the supply of all thy
needs.

No Help for Sinners but in Christ. Acts 4. 12

1 Where must a sinner fly,
That feels himself undone?
On what kind hand rely,
Eternal wrath to shun?
Can wit or reason help him out,
And bring a lasting peace about?

2 Reason no help can give,
But leaves him in distress;
Nor can he be reprieved
By works of righteousness;
The law as loud as thunder cries,
"The soul that sins against me, dies."

3 [Should creatures all agree,
To give him settled rest,
They cannot set him free,
Nor cheer his troubled breast;
No human arm his case can reach,
Nor men, nor angels heal the breach.]

4 Salvation is of God;
Jehovah is his name;
The Saviour shed his blood;
The Lord of Life was slain;
And by his own atoning blood,
He made a precious way to God.

5 Here sinners may draw near,
With all their sin and guilt;
Nor death nor danger fear,
Since Jesus' blood was spilt;
A door of hope is opened wide,
In Jesus' bleeding hands and side.
