The Promise, Or The Warning?

 

Today's verse is Psalm 25:14

     The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him;

      And he will shew them his covenant.

    Now we have recieved God’s Mercy, but having recieved mercy, will we fear God, and seek his Grace? What is this covenant that God will show those that fear him? It begins with it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. And it continues on with God’s promise to Abraham in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Concluding, with many more promises that are made sure by confessing with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believing in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, and so thou shalt be saved. Then from here, having been born into the family of God, we must still diligently seek him that we might receive all that he has; knowing that if any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. That is, we shall have nothing to present to him, for the Gift he has given us, of which Paul later testifies: Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord. For truly It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Selah [How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
