The LORD Christ in
the midst of His people is to be acknowledged and obeyed.
He is the
vice-regent of God and speaks in the Father's name, and it is ours
implicitly and immediately to do as He commands.
We shall lose the
promise if we disregard the precept.
To full obedience how large the
blessing!
The LORD enters into a league with His people, offensive and
defensive.
He will bless those who bless us and curse those who curse
us.
God will go heart and soul with His people and enter in deepest
sympathy into their position.
What a protection this affords us!
We need
not concern ourselves about our adversaries when we are assured that
they have become the adversaries of God.
If Jehovah has taken up our
quarrel, we may leave the foemen in His hands.
So far as our own
interest is concerned we have no enemies; but for the cause of truth and
righteousness we take up arms and go forth to conflict.
In this sacred
war we are allied with the eternal God, and if we carefully obey the law
of our LORD Jesus, He is engaged to put forth all His power on our behalf.
Wherefore we fear no man.
~Charles Spurgeon~
