In this classic, Romans, Verse By Verse, Wm. R. Newell Presents some penetrating thoughts regarding Grace:
"There being no cause in the creature why Grace should be shown, thecreature must be brought off from trying to give cause to God for Hiscare." " He has been accepted in Christ, Who is his standing!" " He isnot on probation." " As to his life past, it does not exist before God:he died at the Cross, and Christ is his Life." " Grace, once bestowed,is not withdrawn: for God knew all the human exigencies beforehand: Hisaction was independent of them, not dependent upon them."
" To believe, and to consent to be loved while unworthy, is the great secret."
" To refuse to make resolutions and vows; for that is to trust in the flesh."
" To expect to be blessed, though realizing more and more lack of worth."
" To rely on God's chastening ( child training) hand as a mark of His kindness."
" To hope to be better ( hence acceptance) is to fail to see yourself in Christ only."
" To be disappointed with yourself is to have believed in yourself."
" To be discouraged is unbelief - as to God's purpose and plan of blessing for you."
" To be proud, is to be blind! For we have no standing before God, in ourselves."
" The lack of Divine blessing, therefore, comes from unbelief, and not from failure of devotion."
" To preach devotion first, and blessing second, is to reverse God'sorder, and preach law, not grace. The law made man's blessing depend ondevotion; Grace confers undeserrved, unconditional blessing: ourdevotion may follow, but does not always do so, in proper measure."
