I STAND ALMOST ALONE!

Copied


"Eight years before he died, Pastor C. H. Spurgeon made this statement: "In theology I stand where I did when I began preaching, and I STAND ALMOST ALONE! I believe in God's everlasting covenant! Those are strange, uncouth words to some people's ears. We have friends about who have never heard of it; and if their pastors were asked why they never preach God's covenant, they would reply, 'Covenant? that is a Scotch thing, is it not? something to do with the Puritans and men of that persuasion? They are all dead now, at least nearly all; there are few left; like fossils of the olden time, they cling to this obsolete form of religion. They will soon be quite extract.' SO THEY SAY, brethren; but we shall see! And meanwhile, we poor fossils DO INDEED BELIEVE IN THE COVENANT. We are almost as absurd as David, who said, 'He hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation and all my desire!' He who understands the covenant of grace in Christ has reached the very core and marrow of the gospel – but how few do care about it nowadays!" –Copied
