A sermon on the' Final Icrscrcranca of I
il . i:'t.. T" T ... T- j r. '
Text:--Tha righteous also shall held, on Lia
ay, and he that bath clean hands shall be
stronger and stronger Job xrii ; 9. r ; "
; A. Every intelligent human being leels more or less the
importance of finding the way of eternal life. CJ " V; ;
Then are those who moved to a small extant by this mo
tire, bat to a much larger extent by iatae motiTaa, pretend to
seek and pretend to find this good way. There are hypocrites.'
They are deeply conscious all that time thai they are acting
hypocritically. - ,r' - ' -
. .- There are oiiitrs, who moved by a deeper sense oflheirjsia
and guilt and daBger, seek, as we must believe, with much
-earnestness to find the right way and walk therein. 'But
these,' not seeking with the "wAofe Vwrt," grasp at the 'shad
ow for the tubitmc" They take some change' of feeling,
physicaT or mental, for religion. They are deceived, and
perhaps for a time, honestly deceived.
Neither of these . characters shall . hold on his way. - God's
word declares t ''Thehopeof the hypocrite ahai) perish. h
. Bat there are still others (and would to God they were more
numerous) who hare deeply felt their 'miserable and rained
condition as tinners ; and ;have most earnestly sought,' and
oertainly found the way of life and pesos. They hare come
. with broken and contrite nearts, on aeeeant of their sins, and
God has not despised or rejected them bat received, them,
m his boss end laughters. , These in the - text are called the
"Righteous f These shall hold on their way, because they
are rigbteoua, they hare clean bands, and shall add strength
to strength. . They' shall "Grow in grace and increase in
knowledge." ' "
B. I hare no doubt of the fact that the doctrine of the
Final Fersereran.ee of the taints, would be more readily un
derstood and believed if persons would seek to know and
. remember that there are many who seem to men to be right-'
1 eons, but are not ; while there are others who really ' are
; ; righteous before '.God and men. , :. $ f A' " .?'
Some of the former hold on their seemingly right way but
v short time; others may hold en till death; but all these shall
sooner or later be thrown out of their way. . -
Bui all the latter ahall hold on their way unta grace shall
end in gliry, and hope be lost m full fruition. ' J.1..-
. 'Bnt let us come more directly to the comrideration of the
text, which assures us that the; righteous shall hold on his
. wayandihe that hath clean hands shall be stronger and
stronger. ' Our present purpose is to examine some of the
grounds of this assurances ; And, . -.' .t'Ll V f .. .;
1. God has prepared a perfect way for the righteous. i
S. He prepares the righteous for this wsy. i x
, 8. The Bible furnishes numerous, positive, assurances that
: the righteous shall bold on in this way.' . 1 j , .
L God has prepared s perfect way -for the righteous. A
. perfect God can only prepare a .'perfect way.
God is the perfection of knowledge,' power and love, ' His
. knowledge enablea him to know the best way to conduct his
people from' earth to heaven. Eis power enables kirn to pro
pare that way,' and his love prompts him to prepare it, , j
The best ways ever devised and prepared by man, to con
vey paasengera from one oountry to another, have proved so
defective, that travellers have often : encountered Accidents, '
danger and death. V And if they-do aot meet death, they often
; fail to reach the desired country. But all those oeUed ; into
God's way will find it so perfect, thai without; doubt or dsn
ger, it will lead them to a glorious home on high. y-t j.,-
, 9. This way was foretold by prophets. i -
Isaiah, in predicting flae blessings of the gospel state, tells
us, ohapterxxxv i 8,. "And an highway shall be there, and a
way, and it shall be called the. way of holiness ; the unclean
;. shall aoot pass over it; bat it ahall be for those: the way-ar-tag
men, though fools, shall not erriherein." .
- This shows us that God has determined, and actually has
prepared a "lligh, a holy and therefore a perfect way for
his people It is a perfect way of holineasy prepared for the
righteous for those who have "clean hands."' The wridaany
the unregenexatel.shan'noi'paM so per
feet that the way-faring man, though a 1 fool, shall not err
therein." It is perfect because it is the 'King'a high-wsy of
holiness,' prepared by the King for his subjeets,' and hia peo.,
pie traveling in this way are keptfrom ail danger for, :tno
lion ahall be then, nor any ravenous beast shall go up there-"
on." Nothing, saiih the Lord 'shall hurt or destroy in all
.. my holy mountain." fti :?-LustTf:;W'ti:J . ,.; :
- The Devil, that roaring Con, who goes : about ateking
: whom he may devour,may often terrify, but can never hurt or
; destroy any .who are in this high, holy and perfect war.
-8. God assuredly has prepared this way in the goepeL Tor:
we hear Christ proclaiming (John xiv : 6,) MI am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man oometh unto the Father, but by
me.1 , Cere we see: . . . . , - '.
A. God has made Christ the way. Christ is equal with
God. He is a way, then aa high, as holy and as perfect aa
God himself. He is the only way that leads from earth to
t heaven. No other way is needed, because this is a sure and,
perfect way. ,lThere is away that seemeth right Utito men,
- but the end thereof ia death.; Many choose this way, walk
therein a while,' - Tout fall team it v and perish. 3ut all who
find Christ, God"a prepared way,; and walk' therein, shall
- never perLh." Trose it&i thou gavest me,I Lave kept, and
none of tht xa is lost, but the sen cf periitionJchn xrii : 12.'
B. 'Qodh&smada Cbrkt the way of irntln, the only war
of truth, or true way.' This way stands in opposition to the
numerous false ways of men. Against this way of truth, th
gates of hell nercr have and never shall: preraiL - This way
., of truth and those in this way, have' often been, and still Are
attacked, but have not, cannot be prevailed aiinst.,
,- - After all the assaults of hell, through ages past, made upon
. this way, it still stands a high, a holy and a gloriously per-
feet wsy. -Surely then, the r6ueeme3 of the Lard, walking
in this way are secure,' and shall at last arrive where Jesus is.
. C God has made Christ the' way of life. ' -, - ' , '
AH in a state of nature Tare 'dead in trespasses and in sins.'
Bat the spirit proclaims to those choecn to be heirs cf silra
tkm : r"Awike, thou that deepest, and arise from the dead,
i. and CSikiat shall give thee .Jzt-lM light, of clr.taa , ta.'
. - Christ deolares of himself t 'I am tie - Irving bread which
came down from heaven ; if any man eat ol tlis bread, he
- ahall live forever." -John vi : 60. "; Apraia he says i cive
unto my.sLeep ctersil Ufa.".' 'Agoia, "In w?3 Ilia." To
all then who are made alive by him, and are .found . w&lliag
in him, rhe aaya ; - As X live ye shall live alao." -ATmrely
then, as Qirist the vinrf lives, so surely - shall
: ' O what a perfect and glorious way God L&s' prepared in
Christ for the righteous. ' "Wea may te tart aflrm of these .

the sinner's heart, in order to prepare him for this holy wy,:
li so great that it is spoken of aa anew birth, and when the
sinner has been born again, he is called a "new creature in
Christ " . Yes, the old man" ia put to death, and the "new
man springs into life. "Christ the hope of' glory' a formed'
within him." He is now anew creature actuated by new and
holy purposes he has engaged in a new and holy and God-'t
like work He runs in obedience to a new and heavenly call
He looks for a new and enduring reward, - even s home in
heaven. And m order that he may obtain this reward, God
has opened up before him, and placed him fn a new 'and
living way." And now the eontrolling purpose of his life i is
to 'Tress forward," in this way toward the . marav; . f or , the.
prise of the high calling ol God in Christ Jesus.' V. T

.xBt. Gill says Jthat the, doctrine now under .consideration, is
taught aa clearly in the Scripturee as if written with a -sun
beam, and that to' tranaoribe all the passages that teach it,
'would be to transcribe a very Urge portion of the Bible. 1

We quote but one more, which beautifully closes our Scripture
testimony ; it is from Eora.: rai-, 2-3a; "lor whomhe did
foreknow, he also did predestinate to be- conformed to tha
image of his Son, that he might be the first born among
many brethren. Moreover, Whom he did predestinate, them
he also called, and whom, he .called, them he also Justined,
snd whom he justified, them he also glorified. ;f si :

may the christian sing as he journeys on in God's
"high and holy way:' '.l....'..- iJ .
