Isaiah 55:3 Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you… The Gospel is the exhibition and the bestowment of all these blessings which were promised to David, as the type of Christ, and His forefathers according to the flesh. Those blessings are indeed unspeakably valuable; in them is the charter of our hope, and the record of our salvation. And this consideration above all adds value to them — they are c, sure." 1. Sure, as respects the fountain from which they are derived, the love and compassion of the holy and eternal one. 2. Sure, as respects the intention of Him who proposes them to us. 3. Sure, because of the price at which they are offered. (H. J. Hastings, M. A.)
