Psalm 119:165 Great peace have they which love your law: and nothing shall offend them. Its greatness appears from — I. ITS BEING THE RESULT OF LOVE TO THE DIVINE LAW. II. ITS BEING IDENTICALLY THAT PEACE WHICH CHRIST BESTOWS UPON HIS OWN, which He designated His peace, and which none but He can bestow. III. Whether, therefore, you contemplate the agent or the agency, you behold here a peace so grand and so elevating, that THE POSSESSORS OF IT MUST EMBRACE THE WHOLE LAW WITH THEIR WHOLE SOULS. They can except against none of all the gracious commandments. There is not one thing you can put them on, whether to do or to suffer, which, in the strength of that heavenly love, and by the help of that grace, they will not go into for their Saviour.
