Moreover, the appetites of the body have a natural affinity to that which is sinful. I fear, if all the truth were written, we should rise up from reading the lives of earth's mightiest heroes and proudest sages, and would say at once of all of them, "They are clean gone out of the way; they are altogether become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. You can say, "God has given these souls to Christ, I am going to take them in Christ's name." Ah! One of two joint heirs has no right apart from the other. This is styled by our new philosophers as old cumbersome scheme of theology, and it is proposed that it be swept away a proposition which will never be carried out, while the earth remaineth, or while God endureth. He shows us where our deficiencies are, what our sins are, and what our necessities are; he sheds a light upon our condition, and makes us feel deeply our helplessness, sinfulness, and dire poverty; and then he casts the same light upon the promises of the Word, and lays home to the heart that very text which was intended to meet the occasion the precise promise which was framed with foresight of our present distress. Today, can we not stand at the grave of the dead sinner, and say, "Lazarus, come forth?" These are they who can now say, "Draw us, and we will run after thee.". Christ coined, so to speak, the gold which should be the redemption of his children, but the resurrection was the minting of that gold; it stamped it with the Father's impress, as the current coin of the realm of heaven. But oh! The whole creation is said to be groaning for its share in that freedom. Thine infinite wisdom, O God, is mine to guide me. I showed you that the difficulty is that we know not what we should pray for "as we ought," and the Spirit meets that difficulty by making intercession for us in a right manner. Turn to Romans, the 4:chapter, 13th verse (Romans 4:13 ) and you will find that there the promise that was made to the seed was that he should be heir of the world. First, there is the will declared in the proclamations of holiness by the Ten Commandments. The world's barque, it is true, is always tossed with waves, but these waves toss her first to the right and then to the left; they do not steadily bear her onward to her desired haven. Let us notice in the first place, how it is that our spirit is able to bear witness; and as this is a matter of experience, I can only appeal to those who are the true children of God; for no others are competent to give testimony. We call them innocent, and so they are of actual transgression, but as the poet says, "Within the youngest breast there lies a stone." Well, my dear brother, you up there on the topmost bough, you will not frighten me with all your heights, though I cannot get up there, and I could not stay there if I could get up so high. The trumpet of the gospel sounds aloud to every man in our congregations "Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price." The having those corruptions is our crime which should be confessed as an enormous evil; and if I, as a minister of the gospel, do not press home the sin of the thing, I have missed what is the very virus of it. Our first birth gave us humanity; our second birth allies us with Deity. As to his humanity our blessed Lord, when he came into this world, underwent a birth which was a remarkable type of our second birth. We see, in many a land, the proudest dynasties and tyrannies still crushing, with their mountain-weight, every free motion of the consciences and hearts of men. Heavenly calling means a call from heaven. It sweetly appears that the ULTIMATE END OF ALL THIS IS CHRIST. Who will feed my belly with hid treasures? R.C. Amen. Suddenly the Goths, the old enemies of Rome, fell upon the city. Being the father of lies, he will accuse us of things of which we are not guilty, or, when it suits his purpose, he will exaggerate our guilt, and make it appear worse than it is, in order that he may drive us to despair. I take it there is not. And wilt thou think, yet again, what cause there is that thou shouldest realize to-day thy union with Christ, since thou art joint heir with him. Heir of God! Mark that Paul does not say that all this could ever happen; but that, if it could, the person concerned would be like apiece of ground which brought forth nothing but thorns and briers. Is he a King? Not all the sophisms of the learned, nor all the legerdemain of the cunning, will ever be able to sweep the doctrine of election out of Holy Scripture. Young man, didst thou do more than thou oughtest to have done? Charity to the poor is a debt. Whatever may be the confidences of others, and whatever may be your own, put them all away, and keep to this one declaration, "It is Christ that died." Where are your hearts, then? If it is a call that will suit the remarks which I am about to give you in the second part of the discourse, even though you may have thought that God's hand is not in it, rest assured that it is, for nature could never produce effectual calling. I must confess my reason revolts against such a supposition, and though I think I might exercise a little imagination, yet I could not make my imagination sufficiently an acrobat to conceive of a man being at the same time a child of the devil, and yet a real child of God. Expect not, O Christian, that all things will work together to make thee rich; it is just possible they may all work to make thee poor. Too much joy would intoxicate us, too much misery would drive us to despair: but the joy and the misery, the battle and the victory, the storm and the calm, all these compounded make that sacred elixir whereby God maketh all his people perfect through suffering, and leadeth them to ultimate happiness. Why some of you can do so by preaching the gospel to poor sinners in the streets. In referring to the issue of servitude to sin ( katakrima ), Paul has reference to the problem discussed in the previous chapter and in 5:12-21. A man might as well try to dispute him out of the fact of his existence as out of that equally sure fact that he has been born again, and that by gracious adoption he has been taken into the family of God. Now, at the present moment all things work. But mark, although this call be rejected, man is without excuse in the rejection; the universal call has in it such authority, that the man who will not obey it shall be without excuse in the day of judgment. Now which shall it be! I have thus given you the four props and pillars of the believer's faith. The Lord reigneth, or we might lament right bitterly.

It cannot be that Christ should transform himself at last; but till he can do so, none can condemn. So that wish and I do not think there has been a man in this world who has not had it proves that "the carnal mind is enmity against God. Surely no one is so daring as to say, that all men are led by the Spirit of God; yet may it readily enough be inferred from our text, that those who are not led by the Spirit of God are not the sons of God, but that they and they alone who are led, guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit, are the sons of God. As he turns over each of these love-tokens, and as he reads the words of his reconciled prince, he asks "When will the vessel sail to take me back to my native shore?" a. Regard the Holy Spirit as your prompter, and let your ear be opened to his voice. What wise and admirable desires must those be which the Spirit of Wisdom himself works in us! This would be a very bold challenge even for a man who had been righteous from his youth up. How can a heavenly one be content till he ascends to the heavenlies? No; the blood must he taken to the mercy-seat, God will not stoop when he is just; it must be brought to him. Brethren, we are debtors to the past. He stands to us in the relationship of a Maker and Creator; and from that fact he claims to be our King. The believer continues to hope for the time when death and sin shall no more annoy his body; when, as his soul has been purified, so shall his body be, and his prayer shall be heard, that the Lord would sanctify him wholly, body, soul, and spirit. "A fiction!" My spiritual distress robs me of the power to pour out my heart before my God. To that I give the same answer, "It is Christ that died." And now standing in the midst of men who mock, and boast, and jeer, he cries "Who can lay anything to my charge?" The blood of heaven runs in thy veins; thou art one of the blood royal of eternity a son of God, descendant of the King of kings. Let her, then, as Christ's queen, claim the earth as hers, and send her heralds forth from sea to sea to bid all men bow before him, and confess him to be their King. Moreover, the Holy Spirit's intercession creates prayers offered in a proper manner. (Who would wish that they should? Those whom the Lord looked upon with favor as he foresaw them, he has predestinated to he conformed to the image of his Son. To have anything to do with a great man is thought by some persons to be a distinguished mark of honor; to be set down in a will as co-heir with some great prince or noble would be considered indeed a great thing; but what honor is conferred on thee, believer, to be joint heir with the King of kings, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace! We may understand it in a thousand sense, for indeed we are debtors. But of the Christian, it can be said, that he does not owe God's justice a solitary farthing; for Christ has paid the debt his people owed. Do you shrink from it? It is almost as good as Scripture; for Scripture leads us to think of the sufferings of Christ as an unfathomable deep. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be." "Sentimentalism!" Hear me, what remarkably beautiful language he used in prayer!" "But thou hast stained thyself with lust." Who can tell us what Christ's suffering really was? Would you believe it, that the man whom Christ intends to call is the worst man in Jericho the extortioner? We are only creatures after all, and when we are condemned, we sink down into destruction, and suffer for our sin; but he is the eternal God, and when he takes our nature, and cries, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" First, then, for ILLUSTRATION. It is called "first-fruits," again, because these were always holy to the Lord. Prosperous professors, who do no business amid David's billows and waterspouts, may set small store by the blessed anchorage of eternal purpose and everlasting love but those who are "tossed with tempest, and not comforted, are of another mind." Whether you will receive it, or not, must rest with yourselves. True believers love God as their Father; they have "the spirit of adoption, whereby they cry Abba, Father." Come on, slanderers! But one more word, and that circles the argument, namely, that the work of the Spirit in the heart is not only the mind of the Spirit which God knows, but it is also according to the will or mind of God, for he never maketh intercession in us other than is consistent with the divine will. We have this. Scripture everywhere represents the chosen people of the Lord, under their visible character of believers, penitents, and spiritual men, as being "the children of God," and to none but such is that holy title given. Paul himself counted not his life dear unto him that he might win Christ, and be found in him; wherefore he says that he is persuaded that neither death, nor life, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. How can we do that, say you? "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand not of works, but of him that calleth; It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. Well, that wish to change God, proves that thou art not in love with the God that now is, the God of heaven and earth; and though thou mayest talk of natural religion, and boast that thou dost reverence the God of the green fields, the grassy meads, the swelling flood, the rolling thunder, the azure sky, the starry night, and the great universe though thou lovest the poetic beau ideal of Deity, it is not the God of Scripture, for thou hast wished to change his nature, and in that hast thou proved that thou art at enmity with him. It was most natural, therefore, that a deep spiritual experience should bring him to a clear perception of the doctrines of grace, for such an experience is a school in which alone those great truths are effectually learned. We are joined to him by a living, loving, lasting union that never shall be broken. Now, beloved, it is in such a plight as this that the Holy Ghost aids us with his divine help. If his heart is against God, we ought to tell him it is his sin; and if he cannot repent, we ought to show him that sin is the sole cause of his disability that all his alienation from God is sin that as long as he keeps from God it is sin. A man has to deliver a piece which he has learned; but his memory is treacherous, and therefore somewhere out of sight there is a prompter, so that when the speaker is at a loss and might use a wrong word, a whisper is heard, which suggests the right one. do I converse with him, commune with him? And this persuasion helped him to gain his aspiration. Again, cries Paul, "Who shall lay anything to my charge?" I see him putting his own imprimatur thereupon, stamping it with his own signet, dignifying it with his own seal, and again I cry, "Yea rather, who is risen from the dead," who then can condemn the believer? There are other things for which we are allowed to ask, but we scarcely know whether, if we had them, they would really serve our turn, and we also feel a diffidence as to praying for them. Christ hath a kingdom that shall never be moved. What about your present sinfulness?" As for my own convictions, I never can doubt it, I am fully persuaded concerning it. When I wish such a man dead and rotting in his grave; when I desire that he were non est, I must hate that man; otherwise I should not wish him to be extinct. 3. And I doubt not that each of you, in looking back upon your past experience as Christians, could say very much the same. In the golden age of Rome, if a man were tempted to dishonesty, he would stand upright, look the tempter in the face, and say to him, "I am a Roman." The debt is paid, and Christ is at the right hand of God. Here is the full receipt; the resurrection hath rent the bond in twain. This, then is God's great remedy for sin: "It is Christ that died.". Oh! There is a third thing in which we are deficient, namely, liberty, the glorious liberty of the children of God. (+44) 01236 827 978. It is not the hypocrite's groan, when he goes mourning everywhere, wanting to make people believe that he is a saint because he is wretched. Now, we also, though we at our conversion are new creatures, are also said to be "begotten again into a lively hope." how ought we day by day to seek, by living unto God, to acknowledge the debt we owe to him; and, if we cannot pay him the principal, yet to give him some little interest upon the talent which he has lent to us, and upon those stupendous mercies which he has granted to us. If the believer can take anything and everything to God, then he learns to glory in infirmity, and to rejoice in tribulation; but sometimes we are in such confusion of mind that we know not what we should pray for as we ought. They do not struggle; they have risen beyond all struggling, they rub their hands, and sing of everlasting victory. He had endured persecution, imprisonment, famine, shipwreck, he had suffered from scorn and scandal, pain of body, and depression of spirit. God has punished sin; and when men say, "God must punish sin," we answer, "Sin has been punished, for Christ has died.". He puts it thus, they are not able to separate us. You know that every sinner is guilty of the murder of Christ." If so, then am I called with the effectual calling, which is the work of God's grace, and is the sure sign of my predestination. Romans 8 1-39 Spurgeon's Bible Commentary Romans 8:1-39 Romans 8:1. As a Son he served his Father, you could see the nature of God in him, in his deep sympathy with God and in his exact imitation of God. How greatly we ought to value the Holy Spirit, because when we are in the dark he gives us light, and when our perplexed spirit is so befogged and beclouded that it cannot see its own need, and cannot find out the appropriate promise in the Scriptures, the Spirit of God comes in and teaches us all things, and brings all things to our remembrance, whatsoever our Lord has told us. says one, "but dying is such hard work." If one might have his choice, one might be content to have a short warfare, and to enter upon the crown at once. View the Saviour in his agonies, with streams of blood purchasing thy soul, and with intensest agonies enduring thy punishment. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. who can tell what God is? In Hebrews 3:1 , you find this sentence. If I have, then God purposed that I should do so, and the whole of this great promise is mine. But the great high priest of our profession, Jesus, the Son of God, hath taken his seat at the right hand of the majesty on high. "Well," said he, "if you must know my persuasion, this is it, 'I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.'" Why call him? Naturally we never will towards good without God, but God works in us to will and to do. Simply because it is depraved; and until he had entered a foul element until the body had begun to quiver with a kind of intoxication the fancy would not hold its carnival. Death has not abated a single note of their song; nay, more, I have known some of them who are like the fabled swan which is said never to sing till it dies. We are predestinated to be conformed to Christ in that respect; the serpent's subtlety and cruelty will assail us also. Do I love what he loves; do I hate what he hates? "All things work together for good." Christ was always considered as having you in him, and you were always considered by God as being in Christ. Christ's cross is entailed on all heirs of God. We are priests unto our God. He gave to us the fulness of his joy, for "my joy shall be in you, that your joy may be full." He whose garments are the whitest, will best perceive the spots upon them. Now here is a proof that the Christian cannot be condemned, because the blood is on the mercy-seat. When the Emperor Charles the Fifth went to war with Francis the First, King of Naples, he sent a herald to him, declaring war in the name of the Emperor of Germany, King of Castille, King of Aragon, King of Naples, King of Sicily, and he went on with many more titles, giving his sovereign all the honours that were his due. ", Paul was fully persuaded of this great truth. Dost thou love to pay him homage? There be some men that are born into this world master-spirits, who walk about it as giants, wrapped in mantles of light and glory. Oh, sinner! Those of us who have passed through any spiritual conflicts know that Satan is a terribly real personage. "Yes," saith he, "I will. Thus my ill knowledge is met by the great and heavenly knowledge with which he went about the work of offering a complete atonement in my place and stead. So the Spirit confirms the witness of my spirit that I am born of God. But, remember, the text tells us that all God is, is ours. Yes, blessed be God, even this foe can be overcome by the weapon the believer wields in the power of God, for he can tell conscience, as he told his former opponents, "It is Christ that died." I have been saved from the snow. It ought to be ten times more than sufficient answer to every temptation, for a man to be able to say, "I am a son of God; shall such a man as I yield to sin?" Be not drugged with the laudanum of self-security! We can work spiritual miracles. He is the ambassador; he it is who can make peace through his blood; and though you came in here an enemy, it is possible you may go out through that door a friend yet, if you can but look to Jesus Christ, the brazen serpent which was lifted up. Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? If he had not been a Christian, his Jewish dignity would never have condescended to call a Roman "brother;" for a Jew sneered at the Gentile, and called him "dog." We must not pry into it, but we know that he was verily of the nature of God. As much as to say, it is a powerful argument for our salvation, that Christ died; but it is a still more cogent proof that every believer shall be saved, that Christ rose again from the dead. Over them all the believer triumphs. Then it appears if we are called joint heirs with Christ, we legally and strictly have no inheritance apart from him. In his light shall we see light: I pray, therefore, that we may be helped of the Spirit while we consider his mysterious operations, that we may not fall into error or miss precious truth through blindness of heart. The text says, "The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." No suit in law can stand against Christ; it were idle to dream it for a moment He has satisfied God's law, magnified it and made it honorable; he has discharged all the debts which as surety he took upon himself. Come, lift up thine head; envy no man his dukedom; think no man's princeship worth thy coveting; thou art greater than the greatest, for thou art joint heir with Christ; in dignified relationship thou hast no superior upon earth; and except those who are joint heirs with thee, thou hast not an equal, since thou art joint heir with Christ. Now, to come to what is evidently in the text, and to dwell upon it for a little while, Paul being thus persuaded that there was a love of God, and that there was a union through love between the soul and its God, now says that HE IS PERSUADED THAT NOTHING CAN EVER BREAK THOSE BONDS. He not only groaned in body, when beaten by the Roman soldiers, and pierced with nails and thorns; but in soul he was overwhelmed by exceeding heaviness, and by the desertion of his God. But it may be, beloved, that we groan because we are conscious of the littleness of our desire, and the narrowness of our faith. It makes all brethren who feel its power. Can you not do it? "No," says he, "it is God that justifieth, I am not afraid to face the highest heaven, since God has said that I am just. God has given us full assurance, and infallible testimony, and in all this we rejoice. The fact is, brethren, that the relationship of a son of God belongs only to those who are "predestinated unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of the Father's will:" Ephesians 1:5 . Enemies at a marriage banquet? We are forced to use words if we would influence our fellow-men, but the Spirit of God can operate upon the human mind more directly, and communicate with it in silence. Behold it, wonder at it, and bless God for it. Do you shrink from being tempted? If it be but an adjunct of his nature to be an enemy, he may change himself into a friend; but if it is the very essence of his existence to be enmity, positive enmity, enmity cannot change itself. The gospel softened the breast of Paul, and made him forget all national animosities, otherwise, one of the down-trodden race would not have called his oppressor, "brother."
