What Is Your Life? # 2
In reference to our fellow-men -the design of our life is to benefit and do them good. No one is created for himself. Each one is bound to his fellow, and every one should aim to benefit the whole. We should serve our generation by the will of God.
Our life is misapplied, it is squandered, it is wasted in folly - if we do not use it to secure our eternal salvation, to promote God's glory, and to advance the holiness and happiness of our fellow-men.
What is the CHARACTER of our life?
Looking at its natural character - it is a gift conferred upon us by our beneficent Creator. A gift which, if rightly used, will prove invaluable; but which, if abused, will be an occasion of eternal regret. God gave us life; He placed us highest in the scale of His creatures; He made us capable of serving, enjoying, and glorifying Him for ever; He has given us also the means of grace, set before us the way of salvation, and promised His Holy Spirit unto those who ask Him. Having given us life, He has crowned that life with loving-kindness and tender mercies, and has pointed out the way by which we may obtain everlasting blessedness.
But let us look at its moral character. What is our life in reference to others? Is it exemplary? Is it convincing? Is it useful? Is it likely to make a good impression? What is our life in reference to ourselves? Is it holy or profane? Is it godly or ungodly? Is it befitting an immortal being, one who must live forever? This view of the subject is not sufficiently attended to by many. Is it attended to by us?
What is the IMPORTANCE of our life? Ah, who shall say? Who can describe, what language can set forth - the importance of our present life?
Our life is the bud of being - the flower will not open on this side of the grave.
Our life is the youth of existence - we shall not be full-grown in this world.
Our life is the seed-time of eternity - what is sown now - will be reaped in an eternal, changeless state.
Our life is the introduction to immortality!
What then is its importance? Ask the dying sinner, whose eyes are just opened, whose soul is just awakened to the solemnities of the eternal world. What reply will he give? Look at his death-struck countenance, mark the expression of his half-glazed eye, hear the accents of his tremulous voice; but he fails, he tries in vain to set forth the importance of the present life. He exclaims, "Oh, that I had my time over again! Oh, that I had one year - but one month, one week, of the time I have squandered! But wishing is in vain! The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and I am not saved! The importance of life I cannot describe. The value of time I can never declare."
Believer - what is your life? Is it Christ? Can you say with Paul, "For me to live is Christ!" Does Christ live in you? Are you spiritually minded - and do you find it life and peace? Is it a wise preparation for eternity? Are you living now - as you will wish you had lived by-and-bye?
Life is at best but short - let us improve it. Life is uncertain - let us make sure work for eternity.
Life, if rightly viewed, is very solemn - let us spend it as intelligent and accountable creatures should.
When tempted to trifle, when inclined to squander away a day or an hour - let us question influence our decision, "What is your life?" If it is brief - should it be spent thus? And let the Saviour's question be seriously considered by all who make gain the end of life - "What shall it profit a man - if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36, 37).
Reader, the time is short, eternity is near, salvation is of infinite importance! Let us therefore decide, and accept the Saviour's glorious invitation at once, and so shall we be saved forever!

What Is Your Life? # 1
What Is Your Life? # 1
"What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while - and then vanishes!" (James 4:14).
If God asks a question - we should listen to it, think of it, and prepare an answer. Here the Lord puts a question to us; it refers to the brevity of our moral existence; He asks each one of us, "What is your life?" We think much of it. We make great provision for it. We spend much thought upon it. We are very careful to preserve it.
But what is it? Let us ponder this question. Let us give it the attention it deserves. It is especially suitable to us when shut up in our sick chamber, when afflicted and tried with losses and crosses, or at the commencement of a new year.
Our sufferings may be great, our trials may be many - but they must be short - for what is life? Let us look at the DURATION of our life. It is exceedingly brief. No one figure can set forth its brevity, or sufficiently affect our minds with it - and therefore many are employed.
Our life is like a flower, which springs up under the influence of an eastern sun, which blossoms for an hour, and then fades and dies.
Our life is like a shadow, which lessens and lessens until in a few minutes it is gone.
Our life is like the shuttle which flies in the weaver's hand, and passes before the eye so swiftly, that one can but just it and say - it is gone!
Our life is like the wind which rushes by us; we hear it, we feel it - and it is no more.
Our life is like the dried leaf which is made the sport of the breeze, and soon carried out of sight.
In one passage in the book of Job, we have figures taken from three elements, to represent its rapid flight.
"My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy. They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey!" (Job 9:25, 26). My life is like the swift ships, with all their sails spread, which, with the canvas crowded, glide along the watery way. My life is like the eagle hastening to its prey, compelled by hunger; with strong pinions it cuts the air, and is soon at the point where it would be!
What then, is your life? "You are a mist that appears for a little while - and then vanishes!"
What is your life in retrospect? Look back over the past ten or twenty years; how swiftly they have passed away, and every year appears to pass more quickly than the last!
What is your life in comparison? What are your thirty, or forty, or even seventy years - if compared with the age of the antediluvian patriarchs - Methuselah, for instance? But what are they in comparison with eternity? Think of endless duration, of interminable ages; and while you think of them, ask, "
What is my life?" Ah, what? No comparison can be drawn - but the thought may be improved. May the Lord help us to improve it.
This naturally leads us to inquire - What is the DESIGN of our life? Why was life given to us? Why is it continued to us? Our life has reference to three parties: First, to ourselves - the design is to prepare us for eternity. We must live forever; but how depends upon the present. If we life in sin here - we must live in suffering forever. If time is spent in folly - eternity will be sent in bitter, unavailing remorse and sorrow. But if we believe in Jesus, exercise repentance toward God, are renewed in the spirit of our minds, and devote our lives to God's service - then eternity will to us be an endless existence in pleasure, satisfaction, and unspeakable delight.
In reference to God - the design of our life is to glorify Him, which we can only do by believing His promises, embracing His Son, observing His precepts, and consecrating our time and all our talents to His praise. Here we should live for God - and then in eternity we shall live with God. Here we should aim in all things to honor God - and then in eternity God will honor us.

The Burden
The Burden
"O wretched man that I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?" (Romans 7:24).
This is the language of the apostle Paul, and conveys to the mind some idea of the strong inward conflict he endured. He speaks in the first person singular all through the passage, and uses language which it is prejudiced against the truth. Here is Paul's heart laid open, the working of his mind set forth, the conflict in his bosom exposed!
Here is the flesh warring against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh - so that he could not do the things he would. He delighted in the law of God, which none but a Christian can do. He panted for holiness as with every breath - but he felt evil working in his nature, and sometimes prevailing against him, and he cries out, "O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
He was burdened - and he groaned being burdened.
But his burden was nothing external - he could triumph over all his external trials, and say, "None of these things move me!"
Nor was his burden his natural body - which he inhabited as a poor and uncomfortable tabernacle.
But it was the corruption of his nature; the plague of the heart; the law in his members, warring against the law of his mind! And this, like a dead corpse fastened to a living body - was weighty, loathsome, deadly, and a constant hindrance to him! It was the consequence of Adam's sin! And it was the mainspring of his life! It was a corrupt flowing fountain sending out streams of corruption, which defile the thoughts, desires, motives, plans, affections, and activities.
Its parts, are the lusts of the flesh working powerfully; its tendency, is to eternal death, or separation from God; and while it is a part of the Christian, he renounces it, disowns it, and says, "It is no more I - but sin which dwells in me!" Still it binds him down to earth, hinders him in every holy exercise, depresses him and sinks his spirit in gloom, unfits him for the enjoyment of the high and holy privileges of the gospel!, and causes him in bitterness of soul to cry, "O wretched man that I am!"
But we are not to suppose the Apostle was positively unhappy - for he was not. He was delivered from guilt; and though occasionally overcome by sin, he was not a slave to sin - but a son of God, by faith in Christ Jesus. Still he felt sin working, lust rising, and pollution flowing!
These things hindered him.
They were powerful - and he hated them!
They put him to grief and pain - and as a person grieved in spirit - he groaned; as one opposed - he wrestled; as one in pain, he sighed for ease; as sorrowful, he pined for comfort; as wearied, he longed for rest; as unable to deliver himself, he applied to his God; as conscious that it would last through life, he cried, "O wretched man that I am!"
"Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?" He knew who would deliver him - and he thanks God for it. This statement is not the language of ignorance - but of impassioned desire. He longs for deliverance, and that, because he knew that his God hated sin, and his one ruling desire was to please God in all things!
He found also, that his burden prevented or interrupted his fellowship with God; and being led away by its effect sometimes, his Father hid His face from him. His evident love to holiness had become natural; consequently his hatred to sin, in every shape and form, especially in himself - was strong and painful. He found also, that sin dwelling in him, unfitted him for those high and holy duties which devolved upon him; and indisposed him occasionally for attending to them. It led him into evil, and gave satan and the world a degree of power over him. All which things raised in his soul a burning desire for entire deliverance from this life that is dominated by sin, this fountain of impurity, this law in the members; and therefore he cries out, "Who shall deliver me?"
See, my Christian reader, the nature and tendency of sin - it plagued, pained, hindered, and caused an Apostle to call himself a wretched man!
Believer, your case is not singular, or new; but your experience is the experience of all the saints, even of those who were most highly favored! Paul himself felt just as you feel, groaned as you groan, and longed for deliverance as you do now.
Nothing effects the true believer - so painfully as sin!
"Why should a soul redeemed with blood,
Called by grace and born of God,
Feel a perpetual war within,
'Twixt reigning grace - and dwelling sin?
'Tis but to make him every day
From self, to Jesus turn away;
And 'tis a sign of life within,
To groan beneath the load of sin!
Who but the soul who feels his woe,
Will to the blood of sprinkling go?
And seek salvation only there,
From all that he shall feel or fear!"

The King's Highway # 2 (and others)
The King's Highway # 2 (and others)
Do not imagine that you are in the way - when you are not. Do not be deceived by a dream. But make sure work of it. In the way - you are safe; but out of it - you are lost forever! Are you willing to leave the Babylon of this world? Many of whom Jeremiah spoke were not willing to leave Babylon of old, and therefore they perished there. Will you start for Mount Zion at once? For what should you wait? Why should you delay? What will you get by it? Rather, what will you lose? If you are willing, listen to the prophets advice, "Set your heart toward the highway!"
Make up your mind then, solemnly, seriously, deliberately make up your mind. Be determined to escape from eternal wrath, to obtain salvation, to find a home in the promised land.
Never rest outside of this way. Do not rest in mere desires, resolves or wishes - but enter upon the way, make thorough work of it.
The entrance is strait and narrow. You must strip, and give up self, sin, and the world - and then you pass through it. There is plenty of room for the sinner, the naked sinner, any naked sinner - but only the naked sinner.
The way is narrow - but it is wide enough for you. Greater sinners than you, have traveled this way, and gone singing from earth to heaven. As flagrant sinners as you, have entered the strait gate, and journeyed along the narrow way - the grace that enabled them, will enable you. It is only repent, or change your mind, which has been to live in sin, reject Christ, and go with the world; believe, or venture on Christ, trust Jesus, commit yourself to Him, renouncing all and everything beside; give God the heart, the whole heart, the heart just as it is! Give it Him to cleanse, adorn, and save - and thus make a start for eternal glory.
Is there any difficulty finding the way? Be sure to ask of those who know. Take the prophets representation for your example, "In those days, at that time, the people of Israel and the people of Judah together will go in tears to seek the Lord their God. They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and bind themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten."
Beloved, their is a way from earth - to heaven, from sin - to holiness, from condemnation - to justification, from eternal death - to eternal life!
That way is Jesus, to that way you are welcome. In that way you may walk and find peace with God, enjoy communion with Jesus, escape dangers, and obtain everlasting life.
You will either walk in it - or you will not. If you will not, there is but one other way, and that is the way of eternal death! "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it!" (Matthew 7:13-14).
Therefore Jesus exhorts in another place. "Strive to enter in at the strait gate" - strive as if in an agony - as if eternal life and eternal glory depended upon it - strive, nor leave off striving, until you are safe through the gate, and traveling in the way to eternal glory!

Rattles and Baubles!
Weak Christians are usually much concerned and taken up with the poor base things of this world. They are much in caring for them, and in pursuing and hunting greedily after them. All which does clearly evidence - that their graces are very weak, and their corruptions very strong.
Certainly there is but little of Christ and grace within, where the heart is so strongly concerned about earthly things. Where there is such strong love and workings of heart after these poor things - it shows the soul's enjoyment of God to be but poor and low. Those who are rich and strong in grace, look upon the world with a holy scorn and disdain.
The greatest bargain which a soul rich in grace will make with God for himself is this, "Give me but bread to eat and clothes to wear - and you shall be my God." So it was with that brave soul in Genesis 28:21. Jacob desires but bread and clothing. Mark, he asks bread - not dainties; clothing - not ornaments.
Grown men prefer one piece of gold, above a thousand new pennies. A soul who is strong in grace, who is high in its spiritual enjoyments, prefers one good word from God, above all the dainties of this world. Souls who know by experience what the bosom of Christ is, what spiritual communion is, what the glory of heaven is - will not be put off with things which are mixed, mutable, and mo momentary. "Lord," he prays, "Warm my heart with the beams of Your love - and then a little of things will suffice."
It is childish to be concerned more with the rattles and baubles of this world, than with heavenly riches.
A little of this world will satisfy one who is strong in grace, much will not satisfy one who is weak in grace, nothing will satisfy one who is void of grace.
