Transcribed from the 1819 R. Thomas edition by David Price, email ccx074@pglaf.org [Picture: Public domain book cover] THE GRACIOUS DESIGNS OF GOD ACCOMPLISHED, BY THE MALICE OF HIS ENEMIES. BEING THE SUBSTANCE OF An Address, Delivered on WEDNESDAY, November 24th, 1819, AT THE SURREY TABERNACLE, BY J. CHURCH, Being the Day of his Deliverance. * * * * * Commit thy Way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.—PSALM xxxvii, 5th Verse. * * * * * SOUTHWARK: PRINTED BY R. THOMAS, RED LION STREET, BOROUGH. 1819. * * * * * AN ADDRESS, &c. But God meant it unto good.—GEN. l. 20th verse. THE sacred pages are designed by the God of all grace, to reveal the glorious salvation of lost, ruined, guilty man. The adorable Author of this inestimable blessing, with its amazing contrivance, and the means appointed for the knowledge and enjoyment of it—the eternal love of God as the source, the finished work of Christ, God-Man Mediator, and the gracious energy and operations of the Holy-making Spirit, are the appointed means for the accomplishment and application of this glorious salvation. This is the subject matter of the Gospel, as set forth in the word, and experienced by all who are taught of God; and while we would adore the sacred Trinity in Unity, for the revelation of his gracious will, in the matter of a sinner’s salvation from merited ruin, so we desire, at the same time, to search the scriptures for all the suited promises and encouragements therein given to the believer, in his complicated trials; and whatever may be the nature of those trials, the Bible fully assures him, that a covenant God has marked out his path in love, and in infinite wisdom; and though the hand of God may lay heavy upon him in deep afflictions, and the dispensations of divine providence may be very dark, and his trials very severe, it is a mercy to know, to believe, and be enabled to rest on the Staff of divine faithfulness; ever bearing in mind, that the grand design of every conflict, is to answer the purposes of the divine glory; and, ultimately, to bring the believer to himself, to great nearness and conformity to Christ, and, finally, to everlasting bliss. For our light afflictions, which are but for a moment, worketh for us an exceeding and eternal weight glory, while we look not at the things which are temporal.
