Jehovah's grace

Dear brother,

Out of Christ, God is a consuming fire; and we, sinners, can no more stand

before Him than dry stubble before a devouring flame. But in Christ all the

glories of the Godhead shine in the bright form of love!

God is the God of peace to every poor sinner who draws near to Him through the

Lamb's blood. Fury is not in Him unto such souls. Oh, how rich, free, and

sovereign is Jehovah's grace unto us, that the Lord should thus save us, while

thousands round about us sit in darkness and the shadow of death! We must

say, "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight."

Indeed it is a very great blessing to see the plague of our own hearts, to have a

living and painful sensation of the being and working of indwelling sin, and

earnest longings and inexpressible groanings wrought in our souls after a full

and eternal freedom from it.

Anne wrote many spiritual lettters. She is full of divine wisdom, both exhorting and encouraging. Would to God that today's Christian women would forsake the fluff of Joyce Meyer, Gloria Copeland, and other TV personalities for the truth of scripture. Seek for the Old Paths; Anne Dutton can show you the way!
