The whole Christian life is drawn in one line

Charles Spurgeon, "Coming, Always Coming"

(You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)

1 Peter 2:4, "Coming to Him"

This is an apt description of the whole of the Christian life. I consider it to be a complete picture of a saint, drawn with one stroke. In all circumstances and conditions, we are to come to Jesus alone.

The Christian life is begun, continued, and perfected altogether in dependence upon the Lord Jesus. He is both the author and the finisher of our faith.

If we begin aright, we begin with "Christ is all!"
If we live aright, we live with "Christ is all!"
And if we finish aright, we finish with "Christ is all!"

We are to be always coming to Him:
coming to Him for spiritual nourishment;
coming to Him for needed grace;
coming to Him for cleansing, guidance, support and comfort;
coming in fact, for everything.

The whole Christian life is drawn in one line--it is a continuous "coming to Jesus!"

I am persuaded that the only happy, holy, safe way for a Christian to live, is to live in daily dependence upon Jesus and to come to Him at all times, in all respects, under all circumstances, for everything!

May it be the habit of our lives to be incessantly coming to our loving and merciful Savior.

"Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior!" Isaiah 43:1-3
