romans-7:1-6

The Bible Herald, 1879, pp. 11-18. Deliverance has been much confused with the pardon of sins. Two things are united as to the Christian position — the resurrection, and the position of the Lord in the glory where He is. He is a man beyond death, beyond judgment, beyond sin, and beyond the power of ... Read More

The British Herald, pp. 136-139, 1875. In John 14 responsibility is brought out, and in this part it is the path of the saint; our blessings in connection with the path of the saint. He puts our part in John 14:21, not "we love Him, because He first loved us," but "he that loveth Me, shall be loved ... Read More

I would just pick up a little point or two. And first how can we get rid of this power of self? The end of Galatians 2 will introduce what I mean. I do not take up now the question of righteousness by the law, but the question of the power of sin and self, which is sin really. Life is here made depe... Read More

I should like to go a little into the question, How are we saved? In the first eight chapters of Romans we get the gospel fully brought out. It is just the answer to the question, How can a man be just with God? This is the great question of the whole epistle. We do not get resurrection with Christ ... Read More

Christian conduct, as does every duty, flows from the place we are brought into; and is spoken of in scripture in different ways. Its motive and energy we find in Philippians 3 - Christ in glory as the object we are following after, and in pursuing which everything else is counted as loss and dung. ... Read More

There are some chapters in Scripture which contain so full and blessed a statement of some great truth of God that they acquire and retain a peculiar hold on the believer's mind. And though all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and has the same authority, yet this exceptional effect of peculi... Read More

It is a wonderful thing, and becomes still more wonderful to us, the more we know and think of the way in which we are associated with the Son of God; we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones, i.e., of Him who is the beginning of the creation of God. We are "in him." When He says, ... Read More

The way in which the law is placed in contrast with promise and faith in Galatians 3 is very striking. It is not merely that man is a sinner and that there is a judgment (a truth so solemnly revealed in Scripture), nor is it the operation of the law, experimentally known as spiritually bringing deat...

1 John 3:4 Everyone that practices sin practices lawlessness. The gold of the gospel is in the Epistle of John; the germ of truth is there for it sets forth in such blessed, rich fullness God's standard of holiness and the working it out in detailed power, giving us to know the precious from the vil...

5:21. Submitting yourselves to one another in (the) fear of Christ. 82. This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ and as to the assembly. 6:6. But as bondsmen of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul. Philippians 1:10 .... That ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excelle... Read More
