Essex Remembrancer Revelation 4:2-5 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.… I. IT IS ONLY BY THE COVENANT OF GRACE AND PEACE, REVEALED TO US IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, THAT WE CAN CONTEMPLATE, WITH CALM SERENITY, THE ATTRIBUTES AND PERFECTIONS OF GOD. II. IT IS ONLY BY THE COVENANT OF GRACE AND PEACE, REVEALED IN THE GOSPEL, THAT WE CAN CONTEMPLATE WITH SATISFACTION AND COMFORT THE DISPENSATIONS OF PROVIDENCE. III. IT IS, IN ALL PROBABILITY, ONLY THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF THE COVENANT, BY WHICH WE ARE SAVED FROM PERDITION, THAT WE SHALL BEHOLD AND ADORE THE GLORY OF GOD, IN THE MANSIONS OF CELESTIAL BLISS. 1. Consider the perfections of God, as they shine in the person and work of Christ, the Mediator and Redeemer. 2. Consider the dispensations of Providence in their connection with the covenant of grace and peace. 3. Consider the glory which shall be disclosed to you in a future, eternal world. (Essex Remembrancer.) Parallel Verses KJV: And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. |
