HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div
“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7
Paul calls his Roman friends — Loved by God! There is music in the very fall and cadence of the words.
This is the penitent’s song. My iniquities are forgiven. My diseases are healed. My life is redeemed from destruction. The God of my salvation has crowned me, through Jesus Christ, with His tenderest mercies. Now and forever I am Loved by God! I who of late had exiled myself from Him so foolishly and so far.
This is the soldier’s security. Around me, within me, are enemies too strong for my feeble arm and my fickle heart. I have no might against the great army of my temptations and sins. But the Lord Almighty is on my side, and the victory is sure. I am Loved by God! I whose resources are nothing, am loved by Him who has all power.
This is the pilgrim’s staff. The road winds uphill all the way. There are many difficulties, many privations, and many hardships. Shall I be able to persevere to the end? Yes, Jehovah-Jireh — the Lord sees and provides. I am Loved by God! I, the beggar, being loved by Him, who is not impoverished by giving nor enriched by withholding.
This is the saint’s assurance. If God is mine and I am His, the grave will not end our fellowship. I shall see Him again. I shall dwell with Him through eternity. I am loved by Him whose years are from everlasting to everlasting, and to whom both my body and my soul are unspeakably dear.
