god's love

summary

I call your attention to those words, “Him that justifies the ungodly.”
You must be somewhat surprised to read a text like this: “Him that justifies the ungodly.”
Now, God, who sees through all deceptions, knows that there is no goodness whatever in us.
It lies not in man’s right nor in man’s power truly to justify the guilty.
He has set up a system by which with perfect justice He can treat the guilty as if he had been all his life free from offence
Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.
I, who am altogether undeserving, am treated as if I had been deserving. I am loved with as much love as if I had always been godly, whereas aforetime I was ungodly.
If God justifies the ungodly, then, dear friend, He can justify you. Is not that the very kind of person that you are? If you are unconverted at this moment, it is a very proper description of you; you have lived without God, you have been the reverse of godly; in one word, you have been and are ungodly. Perhaps you have not even attended a place of worship on Sunday, but have lived in disregard of God’s day, and house, and Word–this proves you to have been ungodly.
Though meeting with the people of God, you have never met with God for yourself; you have been in the choir, and yet have not praised the Lord with your heart. You have lived without any love to God in your heart, or regard to his commands in your life. Well, you are just the kind of man to whom this gospel is sent–this gospel which says that God justifies the ungodly.
If you are a sensible man, you will see the remarkable grace of God in providing for such as you are, and you will say to yourself, “Justify the ungodly!
If any of my readers are perfectly righteous, they want no justifying.
To make him just who is just is no work for God–that were a labor for a fool; but to make him just who is unjust–that is work for infinite love and mercy.
If you, dear friend, feel that you are spiritually sick, the Physician has come into the world for you. If you are altogether undone by reason of your sin, you are the very person aimed at in the plan of salvation.
A gospel preacher on one occasion preached a sermon from, “Now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees,” and he delivered such a sermon that one of his hearers said to him, “One would have thought that you had been preaching to criminals. Your sermon ought to have been delivered in the county jail.” “Oh, no,” said the good man, “if I were preaching in the county jail, I should not preach from that text, there I should preach ‘This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.’” Just so. The law is for the self-righteous, to humble their pride: the gospel is for the lost, to remove their despair.

•· If you are not lost, what do you want with a Savior?

•· The sinner is the gospel’s reason for existence.

•· God’s thoughts above our thoughts. He can abundantly pardon. Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners: forgiveness is for the guilty.

•· God justifies the ungodly, and that takes you up where you now are: it meets you in your worst estate.
