All of Grace

I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. Romans 9:15

The greatest preface ever written

—a Divine act as Creation, or Providence, or Resurrection

—a garment without seam, woven from the top throughout

When it comes unto us, is like

a firebrand dropped into the sea where

it would certainly be quenched were

it not of such a miraculous quality that

it baffles the water and sets up

its reign of fire and light even in the depths!

This live coal from off the altar can

only be gripped by the hands of faith.

—it kills and makes alive!

“Not as the world gives, give I unto you,”

—Adapted from a sermon All of Grace delivered by C. H. Spurgeon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle , Newington
