The Bridge of Grace

This quote comes from the brothers at firstimportance.org

The doctrine of the ‘perseverance of the saints’ is a very important and precious truth of God’s word. That those who truly belong to God will stay with God through eternity is a strong refuge against not only much error that places us at the center of our salvation, but it is a tower against all doubt that comes when our enemy exploits our failures and weaknesses of faith.

Charles Spurgeon gives us a beautiful word picture of the security of our salvation in grace. It is a fitting reminder of the basis for our confidence during our series in Galatians.

“The bridge of grace will bear your weight, brother. Thousands of big sinners have gone across that bridge, yea, tens of thousands have gone over it. I can hear their trampings now as they traverse the great arches of the bridge of salvation. They come by the thousands, by their myriads, e’er since that day when Christ first entered His glory.

They come and yet never a stone has sprung in that mighty bridge. Some have been the chief of sinners and some have come at the very last of their days but the arch has never yielded beneath their weight. I will go with them, trusting to the same support. It will bear me over as it has for them.”

The bridge of grace was built for you and me. Sola Gratia, indeed!
