His Commandment is Warrant Enough

TBC Today

The gospel Command is a sufficient warrant for a sinner to believe in Jesus Christ. The words of our text [below] imply this—"This is the commandment." My brethren, do you want any warrant for doing a thing better than God's command to do it? The children of Israel [1] borrowed jewels of silver and jewels of gold from the Egyptians. Many, as they read the Bible, find fault with this transaction; but, to my mind, if God bade them do it, that was enough of justification for them. Very well; if God bid thee believe—if this be his commandment that thou believe—canst thou want a better warrant? I say, is there any necessity for any other. Surely the Lord's Word is enough.

--C.H. Spurgeon

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans:10:17).
