Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Thursday July 30, 2020 |
Evening Time: 3:04 PM PST
"Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." --John 6:37
No limit is set to the duration of this promise. It does not merely
say, "I will not cast out a sinner at his first coming," but, "I will in no wise
cast out." The original reads, "I will not, not cast out," or "I will never,
never cast out." The text means, that Christ will not at first reject a
believer; and that as He will not do it at first, so He will not to the last.
But suppose the believer sins after coming? "If any man sin we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." But suppose that
believers backslide? "I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely:
for Mine anger is turned away from him." But believers may fall under
temptation! "God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that
ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may
be able to bear it." But the believer may fall into sin as David did! Yes, but
He will "Purge them with hyssop, and they shall be clean; He will wash them and
they shall be whiter than snow"; "From all their iniquities will I cleanse
them."
"Once in Christ, in Christ for ever,
Nothing from His love can sever."
"I give unto My sheep," saith He, "eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand." What sayest thou to
this, O trembling feeble mind? Is not this a precious mercy, that coming to
Christ, thou dost not come to One who will treat thee well for a little while,
and then send thee about thy business, but He will receive thee and make thee
His bride, and thou shalt be His for ever? Receive no longer the spirit of
bondage again to fear, but the spirit of adoption whereby thou shalt cry, Abba,
Father! Oh! the grace of these words: "I will in no wise cast out."
