We are indebted to the Reformation for the recovery of the truth of salvation through faith alone and not works. Truly, the Reformation was a glorious light after the darkness of the ages that preceded it. Nevertheless, much teaching remained clouded by the prejudices of former thinking. It remained until the 1800's before the truth of justification was brought into the full light of Scripture. Nevertheless, even today, the most common teaching concerning justification is called the "Imputed Righteousness of Christ." Unfortunately, it confounds God's righteousness with righteous conduct in man, and the law becomes the measure of Christ's righteousness. In the Pauline doctrine of justification, I now stand before God in Christ, in all the blessedness of that position knowing that my sins have been forgiven, my guilt has been put away, and I have been judicially cleared from all the consequences connected with my former life; I am "justified in Christ" (Gal. 2:17 JND). The life I once had is altogether done with at the cross.

The book of the Acts is a divinely inspired record of the first 30 years of Christianity. It takes up the historical narrative where the four Gospels leave off (at the ascension of the Lord) and continues it from the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost to Paul’s captivity in Rome, some 30 years later. Being supplementary to the Gospels and introductory to the Epistles, the book of the Acts documents the transition from Judaism to Christianity. As we turn the pages of the book, we see the Lord leading His Jewish saints out of the bondage of that legal system into the glorious liberty of Christianity, one step at a time. This transition is not something that the apostles invented after the Lord died (as some Jewish detractors say), but something that He taught His disciples when He was still on earth. In John 10, the Lord said that He was going to lead His “sheep” (Jewish believers) out of the “fold” of Judaism into a new thing which He called a “flock,” where “other sheep” (Gentile believers) would be added (John 10:1-16). We see this fulfilled in the book of the Acts. Besides documenting the transition from Judaism to Christianity, the book also illustrates many Christian principles taught in the epistles in real-life situations.

“And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come to thee on the water. And He said, Come” (Matthew 14:28-29).

The disciples were in a boat on the Sea of Galilee at night, trying to row their boat against a headwind. They were not making much progress, but then the Lord Jesus came to them, walking on the water. Peter immediately wanted to walk on the water too, and the Lord told him to come. With the Lord’s power, Peter, too, walked on the water, even though it was rough. There is an important lesson for all of us to learn in this.

The rough water is a picture to us of difficulties the Lord allows in our lives, and sometimes it seems that we cannot make much progress against them. Perhaps we try hard in our own strength, but it does not work. However, just as the Lord was not hindered by the headwind and waves, so we too can rise above our problems, and, as it were, walk above them. As long as Peter kept his eye on the Lord, and not on the rough water, he was able to walk on the rough water, just as the Lord did. Tomorrow we will see what happened when he got his eyes off the Lord, and looked at the strong wind and heavy waves.

Growing in Grace
“God, who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” (2 Corinthians 1:21-22).
“That Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:13-14).
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is more than simply “another Comforter,” although this is a very important part of His work in us. But He is also a “seal,” and “the earnest of our inheritance.” What does this mean?
When something is sealed, it carries authority. Maybe you have seen a document that has a special seal or a stamp on it, perhaps from a lawyer’s office, or a government official. This means that what is in the document is true and real, for it has been stamped by someone with authority. God does this with us too, by sending down His Holy Spirit to live in us. We now belong to Him!
But what does the word “earnest” mean? When people buy something large, like a house, they usually make an offer to buy it for a certain amount of money. When they sign their offer, they give the seller some “earnest money” (down payment money), to show that they really want that house, and that they are willing to pay the amount of money on the paper. If the seller accepts the offer, but the buyer decides that he does not want the house, then the seller keeps the “earnest money.”
But the Lord wants us so badly that He has given something as a down payment that is worth more than we are! He has sent His Holy Spirit to live in us! What are we worth, compared to the Spirit of God? Yet God sends down His Holy Spirit, to assure us that He will complete His purchase. When will that happen?
It will happen when the Lord Jesus comes back to take us home, and we get our glorified bodies. Then God will complete His purchase of us, although the price has already been paid at Calvary’s cross. But God wants us to be completely convinced that He will keep His promise, so He has sent down His Holy Spirit to live in us. This is so wonderful. We sometimes do not realize how much God wants us for Himself!

Their Redeemer is strong. (Jeremiah 50:34)
I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins.1 – I have laid help upon one that is mighty.2 – The Lord … thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.3 – Mighty to save.4 – Able to keep you from falling.5 – Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.6
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.7 – He is able … to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him.8
Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem?9
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? … I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.10

Comfort of the Scriptures
“Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit” (Col. 1:8).
The love with which we are called upon to love one another is not mere human love, so easily offended and cooled; it is, rather, “love in the Spirit.” It is “the love of God ... shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” It is the same love by which “was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.” With this “love of God” in our hearts, we can love those who are unlovely, and we can love even if it is unrequited. And we can love sacrificially, without counting the personal cost. For to love with “the love of God” is costly, not merely in material things, but in many other ways. It can involve great burden and heartache. “But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” “Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.”
How can we love the unlovely?
How can we manifest God’s grace?
By looking at our Lord in the Scriptures,
And joyfully beholding His face.
