He is a rich, full, free and
inexhaustible fountain. By William Nicholson. The same
Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. Romans 10,
verse 12. This verse is full of precious
consolation. As Lord over all, He is able
to enrich others. He possesses an inexhaustible
stock of spiritual blessings, by which He can be rich unto
all who call upon Him. Note the objects of His enriching
grace unto all who call upon Him. He enriches the guilty one
with the pardon of all his sins, however numerous and flagrant.
1 John 1, verse 7, and Acts 13, verse 38. He enriches those condemned
by the law with deliverance and justification. Acts 13, verse
39, Romans 5, verse 1, and Romans 8, verse 1. He enriches the unrighteous and
defiled with cleansing grace and regenerating power, to make
them new creatures in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5, verse
17. He enriches the outcast and abandoned
with adoption into his redeemed family and all its precious privileges. He is a rich, full, free, and
inexhaustible fountain. What more can be said? He enriches
the ignorant with wisdom, the weak with strength, the fearful
with courage, the depressed with consolation, the soldier of the
cross with armor, success and conquest. The tempted and tried,
with support and a way of escape. The afflicted and bereaved, with
strength according to the day. The dying, with the hope of immortality,
and afterwards with heaven itself. He can make all grace to abound
to all his people. The Lord gives grace and glory. No good thing does he withhold
from those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84, verse 11.
