Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, has given believers a wonderful promise in Matthew 18 verse 20, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

Many believers are frustrated and troubled about their walk, sometimes doubting their salvation because of so much failure in their lives. The following four truths about salvation should be helpful to anyone with such thoughts.

The Scriptures teach that every regenerate person is the possessor of two natures: one, received by natural birth, which is wholly and hopelessly bad; and a new nature, received through the new birth, which is the nature of God Himself, and therefore wholly good.

Many Christians experience a good deal of difficulty in daily life as a result of having no clear understanding of this subject. They are conscious of a whole host of desires and emotions of a strangely conflicting nature. The apostle James may ask the question, "Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?"

Our practical Christian life may be divided into two chapters, entitled, "Getting" and "Giving." We begin by coming to the Saviour with empty hands, as needy recipients of His grace. But, though that is the initial attitude, it is not the only one that should mark the Christian through life. We have to think also of giving.

"The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" (John 1:17) - "Sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace" (Rom. 6:14)

It is not sufficient for you to read about the Scriptures, you must read the Scriptures for yourself. A Christian ignorant of his Bible is practically defenceless against the attacks of the world, the flesh, and the devil.

If you have been led by the Holy Ghost to own the Lord Jesus as your Saviour - to know that, for His sake, your sins have been forgiven - allow me to exhort you on one or two particulars.

What an unspeakable mercy for one who really desires to walk with God, to know that there is a way for him to walk in! God has prepared a pathway for His redeemed in which they may walk with all possible certainty, calmness and fixedness.

Here we have faith presented not only as the ground of righteousness, but as the vital principle by which we are to live, day by day, from the starting-post to the goal of the Christian course.

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of live, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." 1 John 2:15-17

If we profess to have life, this life must express itself in something more tangible and forcible than mere words. There is an appalling amount of empty profession--shallow, powerless, worthless talk--today.

Some time ago a strange-looking preacher was seen and heard in a city market place. He stood on the Spot where the glad Gospel of God’s Son had won many a triumph...

One of the numerous and wonderful workings and effects of the Holy Spirit is His guidance or leading. It is a subject of which we find very little in Scripture; only four passages in the New Testament mention it. 

Tribulation is to the soul what exercise is to the body. Spiritual muscle and stamina are developed by it.

The question which forms the heading of this paper is one of real weight and practical importance.

"0 God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water." Psalm 63:1

You have lately been led to trust the Son of God as your Saviour, and your most earnest wish is to glorify Him in your life. Well, let me whisper in your ear the secret of doing this.
