PERMANENCE IN CHRIST

"Whatever your losses have been or may be, you enjoy present salvation. You are standing at the foot of HIS cross, trusting alone in the merit of Jesus' precious blood, and no rise or fall of the markets can interfere with your salvation in Him; no breaking of banks, no failures and bankruptcies can touch that.

Then you are a child of God. God is your Father. No change of circumstances can ever rob you of that. Although by losses brought to poverty and stripped bare, you can say, 'He is my Father still. In my Father's house are many mansions; therefore will I not be troubled.' ±×·¸´Ù¸é ´ç½ÅÀº Çϳª´ÔÀÇ ÀÚ³à´Ù.

You have another permanent blessing, namely, the love of Jesus Christ. He who is God and man loves you with all the strength of His affectionate nature - nothing can affect that. The fig tree may not blossom, and the flocks may cease from the field; it matters not to the man who can sing, 'My Beloved is mine, and I am His.' ´ç½ÅÀº ¶Ç ÇϳªÀÇ ¿µ¼ÓÀû ÃູÀ» ´©¸®°í  ÀÖÀ¸´Ï, ¿¹¼ö ±×¸®½ºµµÀÇ »ç¶ûÀÌ´Ù.

Our best portion and richest heritage we cannot lose. Whatever troubles come, let us act as men; let us show that we are not such little children as to be cast down by what may happen in this poor fleeting state of time. Our country is Immanuel's land, our hope is above the sky and therefore calm as the summer's ocean; we can see the wreck of everything earthborn and yet rejoice in the God of our salvation."
