SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHUECH.
An interesting sermon was delivered
by the Rev. j. d. Mofat yesterday
morning from the 2lst 22d and 23d
verses OF the 7th chapter OF Matthew:
Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the King
| dom of Heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is IN Heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord,
| Lord, have we not prophesied IN thy
name, and in thy name cast out devils,
ana in thy name done many other Won
derful works2 And then will profess
unto then, l never knew you; depart
rom me We tbat work niquity."
If we had teen present on the occa-
sion Of Christs sermon on the Mount,
ga could not have listened long to the
powerful language without being I'M
| pressed that the orator was something
|
the above verses are certainly
amongst some of the strongest.
Christ was plain and bold 10 wlat-
o7or he had to say and proclaimed
that he had come to fulfil the law ana
expound the will Of God. In the verses
quoted he declares the destiny OF the
workers of deceit, but not tor the purpose
OF displaying His parsonage bat as
warning .or those who put their trust IN
outward forms and appearances, thereby
| d; ceivlng themselves. We are not TO
| believe that these exact words will be
used by the Judge on that great day, but
there will be "many" turned away IN
disappointment. We may say, lord,
Lord" and occupy good positions in His
church, but unless our hearts are conf
IDENTITY right we shall be disappointed,
and this we must find out for ourselves,
no one else can do it for US. There are
those whoput their trust IN the particular
doctrines of their particular denoml-
nation, but unless they do the
viii OF the Father they cannot "enter
into the kingdom of heaven" 1t IS not
enough TO say Lord, Lord, to make US
true Christians, rs in the earl y ages II
was only necessary for q man to &C.
Knowledge that the Lord was God to
prevent him from being cast into den
of lions, for simple outward confession
has 10 merit in 1t and brings Christ
under no Obligations. Having place
srnonrs. His acknowledged followers is
not enough as in the case Of Judas. lie
was believed by tho people to be dis
clple OF Christ and enjoyed the same
privileges but ne finally proved himself
deccitlul and went TO the place prepared
lor such. Our salvation does not depend
on an outward relation &c the church, but
\ trle relation to Jesus Christ, a doing
Of the Fathers will, hating what Christ
hates and loving what Christ loves.
"know" is not used here in the sense
of An intimacy, for the Lord knows all
his creatures, but rs meaning IN scqusint-
ance. "But it man love God the same
is known of HIM" "The foundation Of
the Lord standeth sure, having this seal
The Lord knoweth them that are His
aad let everyone that nameth the name
OF Chris. depart from iniquity." Let US
live such a life that will cause Him to
know us: aud not say unto us on that
day, depart from me, ye that work in
