Hebrews 13:7- 8
"Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto
you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of
their conversation. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same
yesterday, and today, and forever."
Christ by giving Himself for us, (is), that He may purchase to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works; and that is what makes true religion the strongest bond of friendship. Here are earnest exhortations to several of our Christian duties, mainly contentment. Sin opposed to grace and duty is, an over eager desire for the wealth of this world, with envy of those who have more than ourselves. But Having treasures in heaven, we may be content with meaningless things here.
Adam was in paradise, yet not contented; some angels in heaven were not contented; but the apostle Paul, had learned in every situation, to be content. We have reason to be contented with our present situation as well. Because God's promise contains the substance of all His promises; "I will never, no, never leave thee, no, never forsake thee." The true believer shall have the gracious presence of God with him, in life, at death, and forever. Men can do nothing against God, and God can make all that men do against his people, to turn to their good.
Christ is the same in the Old Testament day, as in the gospel today, and will be so to His people for ever, equally merciful, powerful, and all sufficient. Still He fills the hungry, encourages the trembling, and welcomes repenting sinners. He rejects the proud and self righteous, and hates iniquity. Believers should seek to have their hearts established in simple dependence on free grace, by the Holy Spirit, which would comfort their hearts.
My Friends, Let's go forth from sin, from the world, and from ourselves. Living by faith in Christ, let us willingly separate from this evil world. By faith seek in Christ the rest and peace which this world cannot give us. The sacrifice of praise to God, we should offer always. In this are worship and prayer, as well as thanksgiving
Amen!
