What an unspeakable mercy to live at such a period. We are poor, lost, ruined sinners, but this is the day when salvation is freely bestowed without money and without price. The Lord saves from the love, power, and consequences of sin, gives his Holy Spirit, writes his law in the heart, and directs our feet into the way of peace. He gives us Jesus, who is the Savior, gives us grace, which conquers sin, and gives us heaven to enjoy when the journey of life is ended. This is the day in which he works deliverance for his people. He employs his power, his wisdom, his word, his providence, and his angels for our deliverance. What then shall we fear? Of whom shall we be afraid? Let us go to his throne, remembering that it is the day of salvation. Let us plead for deliverance from all that mars our peace, prevents our enjoyment, or hinders us in our Christian course. Let there be no despondency, for this is the day of good tidings. It is. Believe and be saved. Pray and be delivered. Wait on the Lord and he will strengthen your heart. By grace ye are saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. James Smith.
