FOR FREEDOM CHRIST HAS SET US FREE.

This "freedom" is established in heaven's charter-the Bible. Here is a choice passage, believer: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you."1 Here is another: "The mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you."2 These Scriptures set you free in believing. You are a welcome guest at this table of promises.

Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may draw from it as much as you wish, without any hindrance. Come in faith; you are welcome to all the covenant blessings. There is not a promise in the Word that will be withheld. In the deepest tribulations let this freedom comfort you; overwhelmed by waves of distress let it cheer you; when sorrows surround you let it be your solace. This is your Father's love-token; you are free in it at all times.

You are also given free access to the throne of grace. It is the believer's privilege to have access at all times to his heavenly Father. Whatever our desires, our difficulties, our wants, we are at liberty to spread them all before Him. It does not matter how much we may have sinned, we can ask and expect pardon. No matter how poor we are, we may plead His promise that He will provide everything we need. We have permission to approach His throne at all times-in midnight's darkest hour or in noontide's most burning heat. Exercise your right, believer, and enjoy this privilege.

You are set free to all that is treasured up in Christ-wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. It does not matter what your need is, for there is abundant supply in Christ, and it is there for you. What a "freedom" is yours! Freedom from condemnation, freedom to the promises, freedom to the throne of grace, and at last freedom to enter heaven!

This is what we find in Scripture. Do we treasure it the way we should?

[FROM THE FIRST BIBLE PRINTED IN EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND; 1576.]

HERE IS THE SPRING WHERE WATERS FLOW
TO QUENCH OUR HEAT OF SIN
HERE IS THE TREE WHERE TRUTH DOTH GROW
TO LEAD OUR LIVES THEREIN

HERE IS THE JUDGE THAT HALTS THE STRIFE
WHEN MEN'S DEVICES FAIL
HERE IS THE BREAD THAT FEEDS THE LIFE
THAT DEATH CANNOT ASSAIL

THE TIDINGS OF SALVATION DEAR
COMES TO OUR EARS FROM HENCE
THE FORTRESS OF OUR FAITH IS HERE
AND SHIELD OF OUR DEFENSE

THEN BE NOT LIKE THE SWINE THAT HATH
A PEARL OF HIS DESIRE
AND TAKES MORE PLEASURE FROM THE TROUGH
AND WALLOWING IN THE MIRE

PRAY STILL IN FAITH WITH THIS RESPECT
TO BE FRUITFUL WITHIN
THAT KNOWLEDGE MAY BRING THIS EFFECT
TO MORTIFY SIN

THEN HAPPY THOU IN ALL THY LIFE
WHAT SO TO THEE BEFALLS
YEA, DOUBLE HAPPY THOU SHALT BE
WHEN GOD BY DEATH THEE CALLS
