Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises… – 2 Peter 1:4
The privileges of faith are, that we have given to us, “Exceeding great and precious promises.” …here we have promises which are so great, that they are not less than infinite, and so precious, that they are not less than divine…Note here, then, we have received by precious faith the promise and pardon. Hark thee, my soul, all thy sins are forgiven thee. He who hath faith in Christ hath no sin to curse him, his sins are washed away, they have ceased to be; they have been carried on the scapegoat’s head into the wilderness; they are drowned in the Red Sea; they are blotted out; they are thrown behind God’s back; they are cast into the depths of the sea. Here is a promise of perfect pardon. Is not this great and precious?-as great as your sins are; and if your sins demanded a costly ransom, this precious promise is as great as the demand.
Then comes the righteousness of Christ: you are not only pardoned, that is, washed and made clean, but you are dressed, robed in garments such as no man could ever weave. The vesture is divine. Jehovah Himself has wrought out your righteousness for you; the holy life of Jesus the Son of God, has become your beauteous dress, and you are covered with it…Then next comes reconciliation. You were strangers, but you are brought nigh by the blood of Christ. Once aliens, but now fellow-citizens with the saints and of the household of God. Is not this great and precious? Then comes your adoption. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.” “And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, joint heirs with Jesus Christ, if we suffer with Him that we may be glorified together.” Oh, how glorious is this great and precious promise of adoption! ~ C.H. Spurgeon
