"Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation."- 1 Peter 1:5 Those who are kept by the power of God through faith, are often in their minds troubled and anxious, fearing whether this salvation will ever reach their souls -- whether they may not prove castaways -- whether the work upon their heart is genuine -- whether they are under divine teachings. But the Lord says they are"kept by his power through faith unto salvation"-- kept as in this garrisoned city, until salvation shall come in all its glory, sweetness, bliss and blessedness into their heart; preserved and encompassed by all the attributes of God from making shipwreck of faith, until they"receive the end of their faith, even the salvation of their souls." Then poor, doubting, distressed, fearing, guilty sinner -- this promise is for you. Your soul is bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord your God; your character and your name are contained here. And it is a promise suitable to you -- yes, it is a promise suitable to us all. Suitable to us when we meet together, suitable when absent from each other, suitable for town, suitable for country; suitable for a child of God in a state of trial and temptation, and suitable when he enjoys a temporary respite from them; suitable for him in war, suitable for him in peace; suitable for him when the cannons roar and the earth trembles, suitable for him when he seems to have no enemy near, for the enemy then may be approaching by stratagem. Yes, could you point out a single moment when this promise is not suitable to you, that would be the very moment in which the promise would be needed by you most. Could you ever arrive at such a spot as to say,"Now I need the promise no more,"that very feeling would show that you were on the brink of a fall, and therefore never needed the promise so much as then.
