Tillotson: ashamed of the Gospel

Monday, August 19, 2024
Meditation:
    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
    —Romans 1:16-17 (KJV)
Quotation:
    We have no cause to be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; but the Gospel of Christ may justly be ashamed of us.
    ... John Tillotson (1630-1694), Works of Dr. John Tillotson, v. VI, London: J. F. Dove, for R. Priestley, 1820, Sermon CXVIII, p. 30 (see the book)
    See also Rom. 1:16-17; Ps. 40:9-10; Matt. 11:6; 15:12-14; Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26; John 6:66; Rom. 9:32; 1 Cor. 1:22-23; 1 Tim. 1:8; 1 Pet. 4:16
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord Jesus, You are the evidence, the emblem, and the embodiment of God’s righteousness. May I never again give you cause for shame. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
