According to Promise

Spurgeon Classic Series, Volume 1

By: C. H. Spurgeon

Narrated by: Gordon Greenhill

These promises are for every believer yet each will admit to not fully experiencing what is promised. Spurgeon helps us to appreciate that all God's promises are the birthright of each Christian. It is not presumptuous or unreal to expect to enjoy what God has promised. We are to measure what God can do by his generous promises, not by our level of expectation. Spurgeon had the gift of getting right to the heart of a matter in a style that was memorable and profound.

Hearing from Spurgeon on this topic was helpful.

I found this to be very comforting once establishing that God's promises are truly meant for me.

Crucial message that today is being lost today.

Many of our churches stress activity for God. Serving, giving, small groups, structured programs. While all of that can be OK it is NOT what God called us to in Christ Jesus. We are called to fully cast aside our feeble efforts to bridge the unfathomable gap between a holy God and man's best effort. Our task is to completely let go of our efforts to be righteous and fully throw ourselves on the ever sufficient grave of God which is in Christ Jesus. Give up on trying to please God in you efforts and activities I pray you will trust ONLY in the Cross of Christ. I fear so many will stand before a holy God on day and hear "I never knew you, depart from me:.

Trust in Jesus along casting aside all your good works they are most dangerous because they take the place of total dependence on the grace of God in Christ Jesus.
