Secure Property
Psalm 37:28
For the LORD loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.


A religion of contingencies and uncertainties deserve not the name of Christianity, and it is perfectly a misnomer to call it Christianity.

I. THE PROPERTY OF JEHOVAH IS HIS SAINTS. NOT the angels, the heavens, or the earth, but His saints. I mean real, not hypocritical saints. Let me describe them a little.

1. They were once vile and full of sin: but they are transformed and they know it. They are created anew in Christ.

2. Moreover, they are consecrated, or they could not be saints, and God claims such as His own.

3. They have been eternally set apart as such: and for God Himself, as His sons, His servants, and His especial treasure. You must be a son before you can be a servant of God.

4. And they are manifestly God's saints both in creed and in conduct.

II. THE LORD'S UNCHANGING LOVE FOR THEM. "He forsaketh not His saints."

III. THE TRIUMPHS OF HIS GRACE IN THEM. "They are preserved for ever."

(Joseph Irons.)
