AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!

“Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
- John 6:37

No limit is set to the duration of this promise. It does not merely say,
“I will not cast out a sinner at his first coming,” but, “I will in no
wise cast out.
“ The original reads, “I will not, not cast out,” or “I will never, never
cast out.
“ The text means, that Christ will not at first reject a believer; and
that as he will not do it at first, so he will not to the last.

But suppose the believer sins after coming? “If any man sin we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” But suppose that
believers backslide? “I will heal their backsliding, I will love them
freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
“ But believers may fall under temptation! “God is faithful, who will not
suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
“ But the believer may fall into sin as David did! Yes, but he will “Purge
them with hyssop, and they shall be clean; he will wash them and they
shall be whiter than snow”; “From all their iniquities will I cleanse
them.

“Once in Christ, in Christ for ever,
Nothing from his love can sever.”

“I give unto my sheep,” saith he, “eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” What sayest thou
to this, O trembling feeble mind? Is not this a precious mercy, that
coming to Christ, thou dost not come to One who will treat thee well for a
little while, and then send thee about thy business, but he will receive
thee and make thee his bride, and thou shalt be his for ever? Receive no
longer the spirit of bondage again to fear, but the spirit of adoption
whereby thou shalt cry, Abba, Father! Oh! the grace of these words: “I
will in no wise cast out.”

C.H.SPURGEON

SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Thank you for the timeless reminder of the steadfast love of Jesus Christ.
