Words of Love
by C. H. Spurgeon
January 29
Though salvation is not by the works of the law,
yet the blessings which are promised to obedience are not denied to the faithful
servants of God. The curses our LORD took away when He was made a curse for us, but
no clause of blessing has been abrogated.
We are to note and listen to the revealed will of the LORD, giving our attention
not to portions of it but to "all these words." There must be no picking
and choosing but an impartial respect to all that God has commanded. This is the
road of blessedness for the Father and for His children. The LORD's blessing is upon
His chosen to the third and fourth generation. If they walk uprightly before Him,
He will make all men know that they are a seed which the LORD has blessed.
No blessing can come to us or ours through dishonesty or double dealing. The ways
of worldly conformity and unholiness cannot bring good to us or ours. It will go
well with us when we go well before God. If integrity does not make us prosper, knavery
will not. That which gives pleasure to God will bring pleasure to us.
