  • No longer do we have the Zwingli’s and Luther’s who would gladly give their lives for the Church: we have the winsome whisperers who want to be accepted within their denominational and doctrinal tribes — who will compromise. There will only be a few that will understand the epoch of time we find ourselves in today: they will stand. And when they stand, they may lose everything – literally everything. But they will gain . . . Christ. Not the antichrist of this age.

    Salvation by knowing the truth

    ‘God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.’ 1 Timothy 2:3–4
    SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: 2 John 1–4

    I have heard of a man who knew how to swim, but, as he had never been in the water, I do not think much of his knowledge of swimming: in fact, he did not really know the art. I have heard of a botanist who understood all about flowers, but as he lived in London, and scarcely ever saw above one poor withered thing in a flowerpot, I do not think much of his botany. I have heard of a man who was a very great astronomer, but he had not a telescope, and I never thought much of his astronomy. So there are many persons who think they know and yet do not know because they have never had any personal acquaintance with the thing. A mere notional knowledge or a dry doctrinal knowledge is of no avail. We must know the truth in a very different way from that. How are we to know it, then? Well, we are to know it, first, by a believing knowledge. You do not know a thing unless you believe it to be really so. If you doubt it, you do not know it. If you say, ‘I really am not sure it is true,’ then you cannot say that you know it. That which the Lord has revealed in Holy Scripture you must devoutly believe to be true. In addition to this, your knowledge, if it becomes believing knowledge, must be personal knowledge, a persuasion that it is true in reference to yourself. It is true about your neighbour, about your brother, but you must believe it about yourself, or your knowledge is vain; for instance, you must know that you are lost, that you are in danger of eternal destruction from the presence of God, that for you there is no hope but in Christ, that for you there is hope if you rest in Christ, that resting in Christ you are saved. Yes, you. You must know that because you have trusted in Christ you are saved, and that now you are free from condemnation, and that now in you the new life has begun.

    FOR MEDITATION: (Our Own Hymn Book no. 556 v. 1—Charles Wesley, 1739)
    ‘Jesus, the sinner’s Friend, to Thee,
    Lost and undone, for aid I flee;
    Weary of earth, myself, and sin,
    Open Thine arms and take me in.’


    Charles Haddon Spurgeon and Terence Peter Crosby, 365 Days with Spurgeon (Volume 5), ed. Terence Peter Crosby, (Leominster: Day One Publications, 2010), 21.

    Love’s birth and parentage

    ‘We love him, because he first loved us.’ 1 John 4:19
    SUGGESTED FURTHER READING: Psalm 139:1–18

    It is notable that the older a believer becomes and the more deeply he searches into divine truth, the more inclined he is to give the whole of the praise for his salvation to the grace of God and to believe in those precious truths which magnify, not the free will of man, but the free grace of the Ever Blessed. I want no better statement of my own doctrinal belief than this—‘We love him, because he first loved us.’

    I know it has been said that he loved us on the foresight of our faith, love and holiness. Of course the Lord had a clear foresight of all these, but remember that he had also the foresight of our lack of love, our lack of faith, our wanderings and our sins, and surely his foresight in one direction must be supposed to operate as well as his foresight in the other direction. Recollect also that God himself did not foresee that there would be any love to him arising out of ourselves, for there never has been any, and there never will be; he only foresaw that we should believe because he gave us faith; he foresaw that we should repent because his Spirit would work repentance in us; he foresaw that we should love, because he wrought that love within us; and is there anything in the foresight that he means to give us such things that can account for his giving us such things?

    The case is self-evident—his foresight of what he means to do cannot be his reason for doing it. His own eternal purpose has made the gracious difference between the saved and those who willfully perish in sin. Let us give all the glory to his holy name, for to him all the glory belongs.

    FOR MEDITATION: (Our Own Hymn Book no.248 v.6—Julia Anne Elliott, 1835)
    ‘Because, when we were heirs of wrath,
    Thou gav’st us hope of heaven;
    We love because we much have sinned,
    And much have been forgiven.’


    C. H. Spurgeon and Terence Peter Crosby, 365 Days with Spurgeon (Volume 4), (Leominster, UK: Day One Publications, 2007), 173.
