SOME SAY DO NOT LOOK BACK.
If i am not at this moment without Christ,it is only because Christ Jesus would have his will with me,and that will was that i should be with Him where He is,and should share His glory.I can put the crown nowhere but upon the head of Him whose mighty grace has saved me from going down in the Pit.These were the words of the famous preacher teacher,Charles H. Spurgeon.Yes,this is true with any believer,as they examine their lives. I like Spurgeon,was saved at an early age,and as i look back on my life,i feel the same way.Learning what i have about the personality of the Heavenly Father, the saving Grace He has shown is very apparent."The grace of faith,whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls,is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts,and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word;by which also,and by the administration of baptism and the Lords supper,prayer,and other means appointed of God,it is increased and strengthened"(from the puritan confessions of faith.)References 2 Corinthians 4:13; Ephesians 2:18;Romans 10:14,17;Luke 17:5; 1st Peter 2:2; Acts 20:32)References also from the Puritan London Baptist Confessions of Faith,the year of our Lord 1689.
