Chalmers, Thomas-Fury Not in God

Fury Not in God

Thomas Chalmers

“Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. Or let
him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.”
ISAIAH 27:4,5

THERE are three distinct lessons in this text. The first, that fury is not in God: the second, that He does not want to glorify Himself by the death of sinners—“Who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle?” the third, the invitation—“Take hold of my strength, that you may make peace with me; and you shall make peace with me.”

THE EPISTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS

BY

ROBERT RAINY, D.D.

PRINCIPAL OF NEW COLLEGE, EDINBURGH

NEW YORK:
FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY,
Lafayette Place.
1900.

PREFATORY NOTE.

Not much need be said by way of preface, in addition to what is suggested in the introductory chapter.

It may be observed, however, that the Apostle’s teaching repeatedly touches on the question, How the problem of practical human life on this earth is to be conceived and dealt with under the light and the influences of Christianity? The thought occurred that some expository passages might be superseded by an appendix summing up in one view the principles conceived to underlie the Apostle’s way of dealing with such topics, which could be referred to on each separate occasion: and such a statement was prepared. It was, however, finally judged more suitable to the nature of an exposition to keep as close as possible to the Apostle’s turn of thought in each of the cases in which he approaches the subject, rather than to try to secure brevity by a more summary treatment.

A few sentences have been transferred from a lecture on the Apostle Paul, published some years ago.
