Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Ps. lii, 8.

So we that they could not enter in because of unbelief. see Heb. iv, 2, 6. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Seeing therefore it retherein, and they to whom it was maineth that some must enter first preached entered not in because of unbelief. John 1, 11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. his word abiding in you: for whom John v, 88,41,43. And ye have not he hath sent, him ye believe not. I receive not honour from men.

Jesus salth unto , Thomas, because thou hast hast believed: 1 me, thou righteousness of God revealed | Rom. iv, 3, 22. For what saith Rom. v, 1, 2. Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 2 Cor. 1, 24. Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. Gal. iii, 6-9. Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Eph. ii, 8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Titus iii, 7. That, being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Heb. xi, 31. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. James il, 23. And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was Isa. Ivii, 12. I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee. Rom. iv, 1, 2, 4. What shall we then say that Abraham, our father as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. Rom. vii, 1. Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? Rom. xi, 6. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Gal. iii, 10--12, 21. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given verily righteousness should have have given life, been by the law. which could desire to be under the law, do ye Gal. iv, 21-23. Tell me, ye that ten, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bond maid, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bond woman was born after the flesh; but he of the free not hear the law? For it is writ imputed unto him for righteous- woman was by promise. ness: and he was called the Friend able, and full of glory. 1 Peter 1, 8, Whom having not scen, ye love; in whom, though sed are they that have not ing, ye rejoice with joy unspeaknow ye see him not, yet believa, and yet have believed. etex, 43. To him give all the phets witness, that, through name, whosoever believeth din shall receive remission of 1 John v, 9, 10. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testifled of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God bath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. JUSTIFICATION NOT BY WORKS. Job ix, 2, 3. I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. Gal. v, 4. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Eph. ii, 9. Not of works lest any man should boast. James il, 10-12. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now, if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. BUT BY FAITH BRINGING Ps. lxxi, 16, 17. I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. Isa. 1, 27. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. Isa. xlv, 24, 25. Surely, shall one say, In the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. Isa. xlvi, 12, 13. Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge whom I have suffered the loss of of Christ Jesus my Lord: for all things, and do count them but And be found in him, not having dung, that I may win Christ, mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. Rev. lil, 18.

It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay; but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Rom. iv, 5. 6, 13. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Rom. viii, 4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom. x, 4-8. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteous ness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above;) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach. Phil. 11, 7-9. But what things were gain to me, those I counted Rom. ill, 31. Do we then make which are of the law be heirs, not have dominion over you: for ye thing to the charge of God's elect? 2 Cor. iv, 13.

Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: It may be that the LORD God of Hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. Mic. vi, 8. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Luke viii, 21. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. Luke x, 25-29. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? John viii, 51. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death." John xiii, 17. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. John xv, 14. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon ine. YET NO MERIT IN MAN. Job xxii, 2-4. Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment? Job XXXV, 5-8. Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds, which are higher than thou. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. Ps. xvi, 2. 3. O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. Ezek. xx, 44. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Luke xvi, 10. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. Eccles. vii, 16-18. Be not righteous over-much; neither make thyself over-wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not over-much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. BLESSINGS OF PENITENCE. Deut. xxx, 1-5. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice, according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the |
