2 Timothy 2:13

‘He abideth faithful’

Read Psalms 78:1-39

Meditate today upon the faithfulness of God. It will be good medicine for your soul. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. ‘They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The Lord is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him’ (Lamentations 3:22-25). Child of God, in great faithfulness to us, the Lord our God has loaded us with all the benefits of his grace and mercy.

He chose us in eternal love. Before the world began, God loved us and determined to save us. He made for us a covenant. Through Christ Jesus our Head and Representative, God bestowed upon us all the blessings of his grace (Ephesians 1:3-6).

In the fullness of time he redeemed us by the blood of Christ. ‘Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins’ (1 John 4:10).

Then ‘According to his mercy he saved us’ (Titus 3:5). At the time appointed, God sent his Spirit to us. He gave us life and faith in Christ. Yes, in Christ,

There’s pardon for transgressions past: It matters not how black their cast. And, Oh, my soul, with wonder view, For sins to come there’s pardon too!

Here is another great benefit of grace: the Lord Jesus Christ is continually making intercession for us. The Son of God ever bears our names before the Father, pleading the merits of his own blood and righteousness for our eternal salvation. We need never fear wrath and condemnation from God, because ‘We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins’ (1 John 2:1-2).

Now add to all of these things God’s wise and adorable providence on our behalf. God our Savior so rules all things in providence that all things are benefits of grace to our souls!
