For this special season of uncertainty, Jeremy Walker, pastor of Maidenbower Baptist Church in Crawley, England, began making short devotions to warm our hearts to Christ and remind of the certainty of the sovereignty of God. Today’s devotion is from Philippians 4:8-9.

Total Depravity (Gilbert Tennent)
Few doctrines have been so misunderstood and abused than that of total depravity. However, it is an important truth we must wrestle with in our pursuit of seeing salvation in full color. In this week’s episode, John Snyder and Chuck Baggett highlight a sermon preached by Gilbert Tennent titled “The Wretched State of the Unconverted.”

Justification by Faith (Samuel Blair)
Samuel Blair was a godly minister and used by the Lord in the Second Great Awakening. He was also a teacher. Blair was much heavier on the doctrine than the application.
Blair’s sermon is entitled “The Gospel-Method of Salvation” and his text is Romans 10:4: “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
The nature of true faith in Christ.
The necessity of faith in Christ for justification.
The glory and excellency of God’s method of justification.
Is faith a work? It’s essential, yes. But it is not meritorious. Our faith does not earn us anything. But faith unites us to a Person, to Christ. Faith is a gift from the Lord, but a gift we must exercise.
