How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you? – Joshua 18:3

All that any child of God was, you may be; all the joy, and bliss, and holiness ever enjoyed on earth, you may enjoy. The land is before you; go in to possess it. Do not be without the knowledge of Christ Jesus your Lord, for in Him is “joy unspeakable, and full of glory.” Some of our dear friends hear a doctrine which is gospel and water; and they really do not know what the undiluted gospel is. The doctrines of grace are the cream which many cautious preachers skim from the milk of the Word lest it should prove too rich for the stomachs of their hearers. A solid portion of Calvinistic doctrine is like a joint of nourishing meat, and the people of this generation are such babes that they cannot digest it. It is too rich for me!” cries one. I know it, I know it. But I pray the Lord to make you grow into men, who can enjoy the fat things full of marrow, and the wines on the lees well refined. There are glorious truths of which beginners know nothing, and through not knowing of them they miss much joy. Full many a child of God goes fretting and worrying when he ought to be singing and rejoicing, and would be so if he knew what God has provided for him. God gives His grace freely; freely take it. God bless you, for Christ’s sake! Amen. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you. – Joshua 1:3

The Lord says to you, “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you.” This is an easy way of taking land: to put your foot down upon it. I delight in that word of the Lord to Jacob, when he lay asleep, “The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.” If you can, by faith, lie down on a promise, and find rest in it, it is yours. Every place in the grace country upon which the sole of your foot shall tread is yours. You will remember that the Red Indians agreed to sell to William Penn as much land as a man could walk round in a day; and I do not wonder that at the end of the day they complained that the white brother had made a big walk. I think I should have put my best leg foremost, if whatever I could put my foot upon would be mine; would not you? Why, then, do you not hurry up in spiritual matters? Do you value earthly things more than spiritual? Mark, then, that if you put your foot down upon a blessing, and say, “This is mine,” it is yours. What a very simple operation is the claim of faith!

Strangers cavil, children claim. He that can trust his Lord may say, “In the name of the living God this blessing is mine.” Come, then, brother, if there be more holiness, put your foot on it; if there be more happiness, put your foot on it; if there be more usefulness, put your foot on it. Lay your claim to all that is put within your reach in Scripture; this is the victory that overcometh the world, and conquereth Canaan, even our faith. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ… – Romans 8:17

The highest privileges of the covenant of grace are not the monopoly of advanced saints, they are the common property of all believers. A habit is growing up of saying, “Such and such a man is a saint”; and then you set him up in a niche after the fashion of Rome. Are not you also a saint? You will never enter heaven unless you are. If you are a saint, why not take a saint’s inheritance? “Oh, but certain chosen ones are the Lord’s favourites!” What! Has He not also chosen you, and favoured you? Else it will go hard with you. Well, then, being yourselves favoured and chosen, why do you not take hold upon the glorious estate which belongs to the chosen family. No part of Scripture is of private interpretation: no bit of the promised country may be hedged in as the peculiar portion of a few; for it all belongs to all the redeemed if they have but faith to make it their own. Do not hedge about the word spoken of the Lord, and say, “Ah! He said that to Jacob.” Doth not the Lord tell us by His servant Hosea that “he found Him in Bethel, and there He spake with us”? Although choice words were first of all spoken to this man or that, yet were they spoken for all believing people throughout all time. In the holy heritage all who have Christ have all that Christ brings with Him… Come, brethren, bestir yourselves, and claim your heirship. Take possession of the whole territory of grace which the Lord has dedicated to your use. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. – Romans 6:23

Nothing is freer than a gift: “the gift of God is eternal life.” He has given us all things for nothing, that we might behold the exceeding riches of His grace… The Lord God has a right to give what He pleases, for “the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Of His own has He given unto us. In the great sacrifice of His dear Son He has satisfied all claims of justice, and He acts justly when He blesses largely those for whom Jesus died. When a man has the freehold of his land, he has a right to give it away if so it pleases him. The Most High God is possessor of all things, and when He says to His people “I give you this,” who shall dispute His right? The blessings of the covenant of grace are a royal gift: they come to us by divine right. Who shall question Jehovah’s will? He asks peremptorily, “Shall I not do as I will with My own?” That which grace has given us is ours by a surer title than anything else can ever be.

God gives Christ and His grace to us every day. The blessings of the covenant are continually fresh gifts of His hand. By two immutable things wherein it is impossible for God to lie, He has made over the covenant possessions to us, and if it were to be done again He would do it without hesitation. “The gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” “I do give,” saith He, and thus He stands to His act and deed. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

Arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you. – Joshua 1:2, 3

Here is the title deed, “The land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.” It is repeated further on, “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you.” This is an abstract of our title. The Lord had given it to them from of old when He promised it to their father Abraham. When the deep sleep fell upon him, and he saw the vision of the burning lamp and the smoking furnace, then the Lord gave to him the wide domain, and He mentions in detail all the tribes which then held the inner circle. You will find the full conveyance in the fifteenth of Genesis, beginning at the eighteenth verse… Thus they came into possession by an ancient deed of gift which entailed it upon them from generation to generation. I am glad that our tenure of the kingdom of grace is ancient and well established, and that it is not so much with us, directly, as with One infinitely greater, with whom it stands fast for ever… The covenant of grace is not made with you or with me individually, because of our personal righteousness; but it is made with our Covenant Head and Representative, whose life and death have sealed and ratified it. As the Lord could never run back from His promise to righteous Abraham, “In thee and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,” so will He never return from His promise which He gave to us in our blessed Covenant Head. He has given us an inheritance by an act of sovereign grace, and not because of any goodness in ourselves, and His gift will never be recalled, since the ground of it never alters. Each believer may say, “He hath in Christ Jesus made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: and therefore do I possess all spiritual blessings, and shall possess them world without end.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
