Why Did God Make Weeds? | Kids Answers Genesis 1 tells us God created the plants on day 3 of creation week. Does this mean God created the plants we call “weeds”? Yes, he did! After God finished his work on day 3, he saw everything he had made and said it was “good.” This means even the plants we find pesky today God designed for a good purpose.

Corruption: The Entrance of Sin | Kids Answers God created everything in six days and rested on the seventh day, and creation was GOOD! But if that’s how God made it, then what happened? Why is there death, disease, and pain?
Consummation: The Completion of Creation | Kids Answers With so many things happening in our lives, it can be easy to forget what our goal and purpose in life is. We must be sure to remember what Jesus shared with us as we wait for his return.

3551. The Gospel in Power

3549. Little, But Lovely
| Answers in Genesis It is really pleasant to observe how much our Lord thought of his disciples; how deeply he sympathized with them; how far he was from despising them.

3543. Speaking on God’s Behalf
| Answers in Genesis For those of us who do speak, do not speak as we should; we are not always giving such evidence, and bearing such witness as well becomes us on God’s behalf.
3541. A Memorable Interview
| Answers in Genesis We fall into a wrong state of heart, not because we are unconverted, nor even because we are false to Christ, but simply because of our natural infirmity.

12. The Peculiar Sleep of the Beloved

2838. God’s Glory In Hiding Sin
| Answers in Genesis If you stand, oh sinner, and confess your guilt; if you say, oh rebel, “There is no doubt about the matter; I admit that I am guilty,” it is the glory of God that he can cover that sin which no one else can cover, and which your own conscience will not permit you to conceal!
2882-forgiveness-and-fear/1 page
2882. Forgiveness And Fear
| Answers in Genesis Mercy was the last of his attributes that God was able to reveal. He could be great and good when the world was made, but he could not be merciful until sin had marred his perfect handiwork. There must be an offence committed before there can be mercy displayed towards the offender.

3270-truly-blessed-man/1 page
3270. The Truly Blessed Man
| Answers in Genesis It is an old saying, and possibly a true one, that every man is
seeking after happiness. If it is so, then every man should read this
Psalm, for this directs us where happiness is to be found in its
highest degree and purest form.
2902. Holiness Demanded
| Answers in Genesis Holiness, in a regenerate heart, is only an infant; it is not matured, — it is perfect in all its parts, but not perfect in its development. Hence, when we find many imperfections and many failings in ourselves, we are not to conclude that, therefore, we have no interest in the grace of God.
3344. Unanswered Prayer
| Answers in Genesis It is very clear to everyone who reads this Psalm that these are not so much the words of David as they are the words of David’s Son and David’s Lord, our blessed Master.
2925. Reasons for Doubting Christ
| Answers in Genesis You may doubt if on former occasions you have found God unfaithful to his promise. If he has lied to you, — if, after having said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” you have found, say on one occasion at the least, that he has utterly failed you and forsaken you.
2880. New Tokens Of Ancient Love
| Answers in Genesis We may firmly believe — in full accordance with the laws which regulate human minds, and without at all violating the free-agency of his creatures, — that God knows how to persuade men, indeed, and how sweetly to “compel them to come in,” so that his house may be filled.
2726-fourfold-satisfaction/1 page
2726. Fourfold Satisfaction
| Answers in Genesis Dear brethren, what is the sacrifice of which we speak today, but the Lord Jesus Christ? We know of no other atoning sacrifice but the blessed person, body, soul, spirit, and blood of Jesus Christ, our incarnate God and Saviour. It is with this sacrifice that believers are perfectly satisfied.
3261-covenant/1 page
3261. The Covenant
| Answers in Genesis It is a wonderful thing that God should enter into gracious covenant
with men. That he should make man, and be gracious to man, is easily
to be conceived; but, that he should make a covenant with his
creature, and put his august majesty under bond to him by his own
promise, is marvellous.
475. Self-Delusion

2857. God’s Goodness Leading To Repentance
| Answers in Genesis I expect that, as I learn more of God's goodness, it will always continue to lead me to repentance. The dearer Christ is to us, the blacker is sin in our sight. The sweeter the love of God is to us, the more bitter is the thought of having so long sinned against it.
3123. “The King Of The Jews”
| Answers in Genesis It was the usual custom of the Romans, when a man was put to death by crucifixion to affix to the cross, somewhere where it might be read, an account of his crime.
3311. The Water and the Blood
| Answers in Genesis Just as Adam fell asleep, and out of his side Eve was taken, so Jesus slept on the cross the sleep of death, and from his side, where the spear was thrust, his Church was taken.
2914. A Mournful Defection
| Answers in Genesis No mischief that ever befalls our Christian communities is more lamentable than what comes from the defection of the members. The heaviest sorrow that can wring a pastor’s heart is such as comes from the faithlessness of his most familiar friend.
2528. Eating The Sacrifice
| Answers in Genesis No sacrifice would have been
needed if the man bringing it had not been a sinner; and here, in
this case, I might have selected many texts to teach the truth I want
to bring out just now, but I have especially chosen this one because
it says, “They shall eat those things with which the atonement was
made.”
357-the-christ-of-patmos/1 page

2498-portrait-no-artist-can-paint/1 page
2498. A Portrait No Artist Can Paint
| Answers in Genesis While reading this description given by John of what he saw in the
isle called Patmos, I think you must have noticed that it would be
quite impossible for any painter to depict it on canvas, and equally
impossible for any sculptor to embody it in stone or marble.
3467-new-creation/1 page

| Answers in Genesis It is my duty, and it is my delight, to
stand here and cry, “Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters,
and he who has no money; come, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and
milk without money and without price.”
2499. Christopathy
| Answers in Genesis If ever the spirit
should be deeply penitential, and yet humbly confident, it ought to
be so when we hear the lash falling on the divine and human person of
our blessed Master, and see him wounded for our transgressions, and
bruised for our iniquities.
2827-the-redeemer-described-by-himself/1 page
2827. The Redeemer Described By Himself
| Answers in Genesis Our Lord veiled his Godhead in the robe of manhood, and he came and lived here, among men, so that he might proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who were bound. He came, in fact, as it was foretold concerning him, that he might save his people from their sins.
2840-laying-the-hand-on-the-sacrifice/1 page
2840. Laying The Hand On The Sacrifice
| Answers in Genesis Sin cannot be in two places at the same time; if it is laid on Jesus, it is taken off from you. If you do, in your very soul, accept Christ as your Substitute, then it is clear that the Lord has laid on him your iniquity; and, therefore, your iniquity has passed away from you, and your sin is gone for ever.
3436-christ-glorified/1 page
3436. Christ Glorified
| Answers in Genesis God has glorified his Son. How deeply we ought to regret that we glorify Christ so little, bought with his precious blood, owing all we have to him.
2911-cases-of-confidence/1 page
2911. “Cases Of Conscience”
| Answers in Genesis This turmoil and unrest of spirit will grow into a burdensomeness of heart, just as Bunyan describes Christian with a burden on his back. He has his no visible burden on his shoulders, yet he has on his heart a load so heavy that it threatens to drive him to utter despair.
1068. A Simple Remedy
| Answers in Genesis Charles Spurgeon looks at a Suffering Servant passage in Isaiah and explains why these words are reason for both sorrow and joy.
2887. A Dire Disease Strangely Cured
| Answers in Genesis By nature, we are guilty; but when we look to Christ’s stripes, we see our guilt laid on him; and, since it cannot be in two places at one time, we know that it is not on us any longer. The moment that a poor sinner sees Christ bearing his burden of guilt, and trusts Christ as his Burden-Bearer, his burden is all gone.
173. The Death of Christ
| Answers in Genesis There is one great event, which every day attracts more admiration than does the sun, and moon, and stars, when they march in their courses. That event is, the death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
561-expiation/1 page
561. Expiation
| Answers in Genesis Both Jews and Gentiles knew pretty well what an offering for sin meant. The Gentiles had been in the habit of offering sacrifices. The Jews, however, had the clearer idea of it by far.
2963. Unmitigated Prosperity
| Answers in Genesis It may be that the devil thought that the death of Christ was the defeat of Christ. If so, how greatly was he mistaken; for when Christ yielded up the ghost, he won an everlasting victory.
1385. The Day Of Salvation
| Answers in Genesis Charles Spurgeon shows the grand reason for this day of salvation, speaks of the glorious day itself, and dwells upon the dark shadows which may close that day.
2818. Jesus And His Forerunner
| Answers in Genesis You may assume that when the devil roars, it is because he has been hit pretty hard; and that whenever there is the most rage against the gospel, it is one evidence of the gospel’s growing power. It was so in our Saviour’s experience, for he had a most fruitful time after the most violent and bitter opposition.
2920. Election: Its Defences And Evidences
| Answers in Genesis Truth is never dangerous, it is error and reticence that are fraught with peril. “But do men not abuse the doctrine of grace?” I grant you that they do; but if we destroyed everything that men misuse, we should have nothing left.
2826. The King In Pilate’s Hall
| Answers in Genesis Observe, too, — for it is worthy of notice, — how modestly and unobtrusively our Saviour answered Pilate’s questioning. It is an unhappy circumstance that some men seem as if they cannot speak boldly without having some pride mixed with their courage.
2409-great-sermon-by-greatest-preacher/1 page
2409. A Great Sermon By The Greatest Preacher
| Answers in Genesis It is from heaven that this voice comes; it is the voice of the Father himself who speaks; and what the voice says is worthy to be treasured in the hearts of us all: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
2806-jesus-our-lord/1 page
2806. “Jesus Our Lord.”
| Answers in Genesis Unbelief is presumptuous, but faith is always humble. The more you know of Jesus as your Saviour, saving you from sin, the more you will recognise him also as your Lord. No one rebels against Christ because he believes in him; but, because we believe in him, he becomes our Lord, and we learn to obey him.
2555. The Stronghold
| Answers in Genesis Have you read this chapter through? It is a very terrible one; it is
like the rushing of a mighty river when it is nearing a cataract.
2899. “To You”
| Answers in Genesis If, in this country, men and women continue to go after the idolatrous calves of Ritualism, or turn aside to the modern Sadduceeism of scepticism, it may be that the Lord will remove the lampstand out of its place, and that the word of the gospel will be no longer sent to us.
384-full-assurance/1 page
384. Full Assurance
| Answers in Genesis The Psalmist, when he wrote these words, was surrounded by many and furious enemies. He pleads with God to take hold on shield and buckler, and to come forth for his defense.
3137-soul-satisfaction/1 page
3137. Soul Satisfaction
| Answers in Genesis This text may very properly be understood as a request that God would teach the soul to rest on him in temporal difficulties, and straits, and distresses.
942. The Way
| Answers in Genesis What does it mean that Jesus is the only way to the Father, and what are the implications of this truth? Charles Spurgeon explains.
2751. A Prepared Place For A Prepared People
| Answers in Genesis Our Lord Jesus Christ has gone to heaven, he says, so that he may prepare a place for his servants, and we may be helped to form some idea of what he means by this expression if we just think a little about it. And, first, I am sure that must be a very great and glorious place which needs Christ to prepare it.
3510. The Fainting Soul Revived
| Answers in Genesis To convince a man of his error, to arrest him in his evil pursuits, to reclaim him to the paths of righteousness—this is seldom accomplished without dire trouble and deep affliction.
2672-neither-forsaken-nor-forgotten/1 page
2672. Neither Forsaken Nor Forgotten
| Answers in Genesis We imagine that God has forgotten us, so I want to show you that, if we are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord gives an answer to us similar to what he gave to sorrowful Zion, “I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands.”
2515-something-worth-seeking/1 page
2515. Something Worth Seeking
| Answers in Genesis If you saw a farmer
feeding his barn-door fowls plentifully, you would not believe a
slanderer who said that the man starved his children; and as long as
you see God providing for the baser creatures, and even the wild
beasts that he has formed, rest assured that he will take care of his
children.
3238. A Vision Of The King
| Answers in Genesis I will direct your thoughts to four things; first, a King pre-eminent; secondly, a vision predicted; thirdly, a beauty particular; and, fourthly, a land possessed.
2475. “My Garden” — “His Garden”
| Answers in Genesis What a difference there is between what the believer was by nature
and what the grace of God has made him! Our Lord
Jesus said to his disciples, “My Father is the gardener,” and he has
made us to be fruitful to his praise, full of sweetness where once
there was no fruit, and nothing that could give him delight.
2721-faith-without-sight/1 page
2721. Faith Without Sight
| Answers in Genesis We have a blessing, special and unique, through not having seen, and yet having believed, so let us not try to diminish it, first, by pining for a voice, or a vision, or a revelation, something which is like sight, so that it could not then be so well said of us that we have not seen.
2842. The Sower
| Answers in Genesis What does our reputation matter, after all? It is of little or no value to the child of God. Serve God faithfully, and then leave your name and fame in his keeping. There is a day coming when the righteous shall shine out as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
3504. Following Christ
| Answers in Genesis In Jesus Christ we see gentleness, meekness, and the most tender affection, and we see the most hearty sympathy with everything that belongs to manhood.
3538-preparation-for-heaven/1 page
3538. Preparation for Heaven
| Answers in Genesis He who can talk about the grave and about the hereafter with such intelligence, thoughtfulness, faith, and strong desire as Paul did, is a man to be envied.
3534. The Light of the World
| Answers in Genesis John the Baptist, whom all men considered a prophet, had testified that Christ was the true light who enlightens every man that comes into the world.
3530. A Sad Confession
| Answers in Genesis Let us make the reflection our own, as we humbly bow at the dear pierced feet of our Lord, and remember how cruelly we slighted our kindest friend.
3527. The Divided Heart
| Answers in Genesis Beware of the sin which is of your own choosing. I may say, beware of all sin, for in a measure it is deliberate, and of your own choosing.
3521. A Searching Test
| Answers in Genesis When men’s minds are pure, other matters become pure to them, but when their minds are impure then they use these things for impurity.
3517. Sympathy and Song
| Answers in Genesis Sympathy is a duty of manhood. We are all brethren sprung from the same stock, and what is a good thing for any man ought to be a joy to me.
3516-love-and-jealousy/1 page
3516. Love and Jealousy
| Answers in Genesis We believe it will be fair to say that there are two high spiritual forms of love and jealousy, and that our text is lucid in its description of both.

2839-prisoners-of-hope/1 page
2839. “Prisoners Of Hope”
| Answers in Genesis In the last dread hour of death, when conscience looks at sin as it really is, and no longer is blinded, nothing can bring it peace but the blood of the Lamb. Nothing can give the soul repose, when it is about to meet its God, except the knowledge that Christ was made a curse for us so that we might be blessed in him.
2883-prisoners-delivered/1 page
2883. Prisoners Delivered
| Answers in Genesis . I thought, dear friends, that you were pulled up out of the pit; have you been made prisoners again? If it is so, it is very sad, but you can never be imprisoned as you were before. When the Lord once set you free, you should have taken good care not to go back again into bondage.

2557-a-vexed-soul-comforted/1 page
2557. A Vexed Soul Comforted
| Answers in Genesis We think, and think rightly, that a Christian man should “glory in tribulations also,” and rise superior to all outward afflictions; but it is not always so with us. Not only are the temptations needed for the trial of our faith, but it is even necessary that we should be in heaviness through them.

2903. Sleepers Aroused
| Answers in Genesis And Jonah was asleep when he needed to be awake. He, above all other men, was the one who ought to be awake, and call on his God. If anyone goes to sleep nowadays, it certainly ought not to be the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
2422-there-is-forgiveness/1 page
2422. “There Is Forgiveness.”
| Answers in Genesis Cast yourself on the mercy of your Judge, and you shall find mercy; but first acknowledge that you need mercy. Be honest with your conscience, and honest with your God, and confess your iniquity which you have done, and mourn over the righteousness to which you have not attained.
2792-a-psalmists-question-and-answer/1 page
2792. A Psalmist’s Question And Answer
| Answers in Genesis When your prayer has been most prevalent, it is then that you have seen most of its imperfection; and when your faith has been most vigorous, it is just then that you have had to lament your unbelief. I firmly believe that it is only the gross spiritual darkness of ignorance that makes any man think himself perfect.
2279. Joy Hindering Faith
| Answers in Genesis I take this text so that I may deal with some people who have found Christ, and are saved, but who are now troubled because it seems too good to be true.
2408. Christ The Cure For Troubled Hearts
| Answers in Genesis Unbelief is a great troubler. Our peace comes to us by faith; and if our faith grows weak, our peace of mind is apt to decline and we are likely to become much disturbed in spirit. If those who are believers, who have passed from death to life, are sometimes troubled, you may be sure that others are.
1753. Blessed Promises For Dying Outcasts
| Answers in Genesis The promises of this verse will be extremely sweet to those who feel their personal need of them; but those who boast that they are neither sick nor wounded will take no interest in this comforting word.
2567. The Single-Handed Conquest
| Answers in Genesis I believe that the best and grandest achievements of mortals lose their
glory when they are too closely examined, and that the frequency of
our sight of them very much lessens our wondering admiration.
The Love Of Our Espousals
| Answers in Genesis Brethren, we may forget the past, but God does not. He says, “I remember you, the kindness of your youth.” The Lord remembers what he has done for us, and he expects a return.
213. The Fatherhood of God
| Answers in Genesis I think there is room for very great doubt, whether our Saviour intended the prayer to be used in the manner in which it is commonly employed among professing Christians.
206-everyones-sermon/1 page
206. Everyone’s Sermon
| Answers in Genesis When the Lord wished to wean his people Israel from their iniquities, he did not leave any stone unturned, but gave them precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little.
1779. Grappling Irons
| Answers in Genesis Like other men, David desired to be preserved in life and kept in prosperity, but his main prayer is not about these matters.
2516. Jesus And His Brethren
| Answers in Genesis There is scarcely any personal type in the Old Testament which
is more clearly and fully a portrait of our Lord Jesus Christ than
the type of Joseph is. You may run the parallel between Joseph and
Jesus in very many directions, yet you need never strain the
narrative so much as even once.
957. Jesus No Phantom
| Answers in Genesis Charles Spurgeon discusses Matthew 14:26, and explains that many people make a mistake similar to the disciples in thinking wrongly about Jesus.
Covenant Blessings
| Answers in Genesis God has made many covenants at various times, and none of these covenants has he ever broken, but the covenant here referred to is a better covenant than all these, it is the covenant of grace. It was made by God with Christ for us before all worlds were created.
2849-remembering-gods-works/1 page
2849. Remembering God’s Works
| Answers in Genesis “He has made his wonderful works to be remembered.” Let us act in harmony with this grand design, and preserve the memory of the Lord’s great goodness to us. If some of the wonderful deliverances recorded in the biographies of the saints had not been written down at the time, we should have been great losers.
2992. God’s Writing On Man’s Heart
| Answers in Genesis This is not the language of the old covenant, but of the new
covenant. The prospects of life held out in the law have all
dissolved into a ministry of death as the penalty of disobedience.
421. “It Is Finished!”
| Answers in Genesis My brethren, I wish to have you attentively observe the extraordinary clarity, power, and sharpness of the Saviour’s mind in the last agonies of death.
3252. “By Water And Blood”
| Answers in Genesis Christ came to purify
them from the power of sin, so that they might no longer live in it;
this is indicated by the declaration that he “came by water.” He came
also to put away the guilt of their sin, so that they might not be
condemned for it; this is to intimate that he also came “by blood.”
2915. A Visit to Bethlehem
| Answers in Genesis The Infinite became finite; the Almighty consented to become weak; he, who upheld all things by the word of his power, willingly became helpless; he, who spoke all worlds into existence, resigned for a while even the power of speech.
2529. Compassion On The Ignorant
| Answers in Genesis The ignorant have need of compassion. “That the soul is without
knowledge, it is not good.” Every kind of ignorance, like darkness,
is evil; and knowledge, which is light, is, according to its kind,
good, or better, or best.
182-human-inability/1 page
182. Human Inability
| Answers in Genesis Coming to Christ, though described by some people as being the very easiest thing in all the world, is utterly and entirely impossible to any man, unless the Father shall draw him to Christ.
1772. Slaying The Sacrifice
| Answers in Genesis Without controversy, great is this mystery of godliness, that Christ revealed in the flesh must die for sin, or otherwise sin cannot be put away.
2865. Fencing The Table
| Answers in Genesis Spurgeon Sermon 2865. Fencing The Table, delivered On Lord’s Day Evening, January 2, 1876, By C. H. Spurgeon, At The Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington.
2699-examination-before-communion/1 page
2699. Examination Before Communion
| Answers in Genesis Every man may know that the responsibility of his coming to the Lord’s table rests entirely with himself: “Let a man examine himself, and so let him come.” Not, “Let a man go to his minister, and be examined”; or, “Let him go to his priest, and make confession.” No, no: “Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat.”
1486. The Shame And Spitting
| Answers in Genesis Charles Spurgeon describes Jesus as the representative of God, as the substitute of his people, as the servant of Jehovah, and as the Comforter of his redeemed.
2738. The Redeemer’s Face Set Like A Flint
| Answers in Genesis Christ was so resolved to achieve the redemption of his people that, even when reproach had broken his heart, and he was full of heaviness, he still set his face like a flint, and determined that he would accomplish the work that he had undertaken.
2278. Feeding On The Word
| Answers in Genesis The great gate between heaven and the town of Mansoul is Ear-gate. We can see very little of the things of the kingdom but we can hear much concerning them.
2581-perfection-christ/1 page
2581. Perfection In Christ
| Answers in Genesis Perfection in Jesus Christ! What effect ought it to have on our hearts if it really is ours? Perfection! What do we know about it from Scripture?
2797-the-need-and-nature-of-conversion/1 page
2797. The Need And Nature Of Conversion
| Answers in Genesis There is no Saviour for the man who will not forsake his sin. Such a man can never be among the people who shall run to Christ, for how can he run to Christ while he continues in the way of sin? While he hugs his sin, he cannot embrace the Saviour who hates sin with a perfect hatred.
2954-the-big-gates-wide-open/1 page
2954. The Big Gates Wide Open
| Answers in Genesis We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination, — the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people for eternal life.
3299-ho-ho/1 page
3299. Ho! Ho!
| Answers in Genesis May
we be longing and panting after our God in that sense until we shall
be filled with his Spirit, and shall dwell in his presence to go no
more out for ever!
2886. Restless! Peaceless!
| Answers in Genesis Pride is another enemy of peace and rest. If you see a proud man, you may feel sure that he is not a restful man. Take care that you do not catch their complaint, for it is very contagious, and there are many who are proud of their humility, and who condemn the pride of others when they are really prouder themselves.
1090. For the Troubled
| Answers in Genesis Charles Spurgeon reminds his listeners that God makes good come from difficult times and that Christians should focus on the benefits of these troubles.
2535-exceptional-plea-in-prayer/1 page
2535. An Exceptional Plea In Prayer
| Answers in Genesis He who
said, “God, I thank you that I am not as other men are,” received no
commendation from the Lord Jesus Christ; but he who said, “God, be
merciful to me, a sinner,” went down to his house justified rather
than the other.
2500. Number 2500; Or, Entrance And Exclusion
| Answers in Genesis Everything turned on the coming of the
bridegroom. To the ten virgins, that was the chief event of the
night. If it had not been for his coming, they would not have gone
out with their lamps. It was because they knew he would surely come
that they prepared themselves to join in the marriage procession.
2828-startling/1 page
2828. Startling!
| Answers in Genesis The predestination of God does not destroy the free-agency of man, or lighten the responsibility of the sinner. It is true, in the matter of salvation, when God comes to save, his free grace prevails over our free-agency, and leads the will in glorious captivity to the obedience of faith.
2841. Prayer — Its Discouragements And Encouragements
| Answers in Genesis Do you think, then, if prayer only asked for in sport prevailed with God, that he will not hear your earnest cries for your own offspring? Oh Christians, be fervent in your supplications, for God will surely hear you, and your children shall be saved!
2912-comfort-for-tired-believers/1 page
2912. Comfort For Tried Believers
| Answers in Genesis You may think, my dear brothers and sisters, that you have been tried more than others; but it is only your lack of knowledge of the trials of others which leads you to imagine that your own are unique. There are many others, besides yourself, in the furnace, and in quite as hot a part as you are now in.
1059. To the Thoughtless
| Answers in Genesis The Israelites often forgot to thank God for their many blessings and instead focused on themselves. Charles Spurgeon reminds his readers that we often do the same and he offers the solution.
2888. “Christ Is All”
| Answers in Genesis Now, if Christ is all, then, beloved brothers and sisters, let us live for him. If he is all, let us spend our strength, and be ready to lay down the last particle of it that we have, and to die for him; and then let us, whenever we need anything, go to him for it, for “Christ is all.”
552. Do You Know Him?
| Answers in Genesis The object of the apostle’s life — that for which he sacrificed everything: country, kindred, honour, comfort, liberty, and life itself, was, that he might know Christ.
2260. Christ’s Hospital
| Answers in Genesis I am persuaded that, without a deep experience of sin, there is seldom much belief in the doctrine of grace, and not much enthusiasm in praising the Saviour.
2819. A Caution For Sin-Sick Souls
| Answers in Genesis There is a tendency, in the heart of man, to want something to look at rather than something to trust in. The children of Israel had God for their King, and a glorious King he was. But they said, “No, let us have a king whom we can see.” God granted them that request.
147. The Sound in the Mulberry Trees
| Answers in Genesis David had just fought the Philistines in this very valley, and gained a signal victory, so that he said, “the Lord has broken forth upon my enemies before me as the breach of waters.”
285-mans-ruin-and-gods-remedy/1 page
285. Man’s Ruin and God’s Remedy
| Answers in Genesis Man has very many needs, and he should be grateful whenever the least of them is supplied. But he has one need which exceeds every other: it is the need for food.
277-the-blood-of-the-everlasting-covenant/1 page
277. The Blood of the Everlasting Covenant
| Answers in Genesis All God’s dealings with men have had a covenant character. It has so pleased him to arrange it that he won't deal with us except through a covenant, nor can we deal with him except in the same manner.
2824. Mocked By The Soldiers
| Answers in Genesis Now we will leave those Roman soldiers, and the Jews that had a hand in persecuting him, for he who delivered him to them had committed an even greater sin. From this incident in our Lord’s life, I think we may learn, first, lessons for the heart; and, secondly, lessons for the conscience.
2820-christ-before-annas/1 page
2820. Christ Before Annas
| Answers in Genesis This man Annas has not become so infamous as Pontius Pilate, because his name did not happen to be mentioned in the Nicene Creed; but, in some respects, he was even more guilty than the Roman governor. It must not be forgotten that he was first in trying the Saviour: “they led him away to Annas first.”
2822-christ-in-bonds/1 page
2822. Christ In Bonds
| Answers in Genesis Our only subject, on this occasion, is, Christ in bonds, — the Son of God as an Ambassador in bonds, a King in chains, — the God-man sent, bound, to take his trial in the court of the high priest, Caiaphas. From the binding of our dear Redeemer, I learn a lesson concerning sin.
2825-majesty-in-misery/1 page
2825. Majesty In Misery
| Answers in Genesis I hope that some spiritual profit may come to us while we are considering this terrible part of the suffering of our Lord. Omnipotence allows itself to be bound, and never proves itself more truly omnipotent than when it restrains itself, and permits itself to be held as a prisoner by sinful men.
2367. God’s Hidden Ones
| Answers in Genesis Nothing stirs a man more than when his children are assailed; the most quiet and inoffensive individual grows angry if his little one is touched.
2900-how-god-comes-to-man/1 page
2900. How God Comes To Man
| Answers in Genesis Suspense is worse than death; we seem to feel a thousand deaths while we are kept in suspense of one. So God would not leave Adam and Eve in suspense through the whole night after they had sinned against him, but he came to them in the cool of the day.
681. Eyes Opened
| Answers in Genesis Using the examples of Hagar in Genesis and the apostles in Luke, Charles Spurgeon explains how God’s mercy is displayed.
672-the-ravens-cry/1 page
672. The Ravens’ Cry
| Answers in Genesis Charles Spurgeon explains that since God provides for the ravens when they cry, He will certainly provide for our needs when we cry to Him.
266. The Blind Beggar
| Answers in Genesis When we see a blind man in poverty, and following the beggar’s trade in the frequented streets, we can hardly forbear stopping to assist him.
101. The Exaltation of Christ
| Answers in Genesis The text I have selected is one that has comforted me, and in a great measure, enabled me to come here today—the single reflection upon it had such a power of comfort on my depressed spirit.
96-the-christian-a-debtor/1 page
96. The Christian–A Debtor
| Answers in Genesis The gospel softened the heart of Paul, and made him forget all national animosities, otherwise, one of the downtrodden race would not have called his oppressor, “brother.”
2265. Harvest Joy
| Answers in Genesis Christ’s servant says, “Give me converts, or I die.” Indeed, we are dead as far as our ministry is concerned unless God blesses it.
300. Spiritual Peace
| Answers in Genesis Our Lord was now about to die, to depart from this world, and to ascend to his Father; he therefore makes his will; and this is the blessed legacy which he leaves to the faithful.
2895. A Blessed Gospel Chain
| Answers in Genesis Our text is not meant for the men of the world, who have their portion in this life, but for the chosen, and called, and faithful, who are brought into the inner circle of Christ’s disciples, and taught to understand the mysteries of his kingdom.
2896-harvest-time/1 page
2896. Harvest Time
| Answers in Genesis Bear in mind, if you and I sin against God, God will take our sin, and he will get an essence from it that will be bitter to our taste; though he does not make us eat the fruits, yet he will still make us grieve and sorrow over our sins.
2752. The Door
| Answers in Genesis “I am the door.” Is there no other entrance, then, into the divine mercy? Is there no other entrance into the true Church? Is there no other entrance into the eternal blessedness of heaven except by him? No; there is no other, for he says, “I am the door: by me if any man enters in, he shall be saved.”
238-reform/1 page
238. Reform
| Answers in Genesis It is a pleasant sight to behold thousands assembled together to worship God; but it is lamentable to reflect, how the reverence exhibited in the sanctuary is lost when the threshold is crossed.
4. The Personality of the Holy Ghost
| Answers in Genesis In this discourse I shall endeavour to explain and enforce certain other doctrines which I believe are plainly taught in this text and which I hope God the Holy Ghost may make profitable to our souls.
6. Sweet Comfort for Feeble Saints
| Answers in Genesis Fame is not an impartial judge; she has her favourites. Some men she extols, exalts, and almost deifies; others, whose virtues are far greater, and whose characters are more deserving of commendation,
2442. “My Beloved Is Mine.”
| Answers in Genesis This is a versicle from the Song of Songs, and I do not hesitate to
say that it is the soul and heart of that divine composition. The
bride dressed in her richest posey wears no jewel more precious than
this diamond of full assured possession. There is poetry here which
not one of the sons of music can excel.
2485. Love’s Vigilance Rewarded
| Answers in Genesis This sacred Canticle is almost the central Book of
the Bible; it seems to stand like the tree of life in the midst of
the garden of Eden, in the very centre of the Paradise of God. You
must know Christ, and love Christ, or else many of the expressions in
this Book will seem to you as only an idle tale.
1932-loves-law-and-life/1 page
1932. Love’s Law And Life
| Answers in Genesis Obedience must have love for its mother, nurse, and food. The essence of obedience lies in the hearty love which prompts the deed rather than in the deed itself.
643. No Tears in Heaven
| Answers in Genesis Spurgeon Sermon 643. No Tears in Heaven, delivered on Sunday Morning, August 6, 1865, by C. H. Spurgeon, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington.
1800. Heaven Below
| Answers in Genesis If Christians lived as they should, this world would become a heaven below. The true Christian life is the rough draft of the life of full communion above.
98. Making Light of Christ
| Answers in Genesis That which was recorded in history as having been done by man centuries ago, might be written again, for “there is nothing new under the sun.”
2398-mediation-of-moses/1 page
2398. The Mediation Of Moses
| Answers in Genesis God in Moses seemed to overcome God out of Moses. God in the Mediator—the Man Christ Jesus—appears to be stronger for mercy than God apart from the Mediator.
2673. Christ Crucified
| Answers in Genesis With regard to the doctrines which you believe, I beseech you, do not know anything except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Jesus Christ and him crucified is the sum total of all I want to know, and of all the doctrines which I profess and preach.
2692-church-increase/1 page
2692. Church Increase
| Answers in Genesis Men who have no grace in their hearts despise the Church of God. Those who have only a little grace have only slight sympathy with her condition. Men who have great grace, and are conscious of having received much mercy from God, have great sympathy with the Church of God, and a deep regard for her.
2693-priest-and-victim/1 page
2693. Priest And Victim
| Answers in Genesis If God is to pardon sin, there must be something done by which his law can be honoured, his justice can be vindicated, and his truthfulness can be established; in fact, there must be an atonement.
2776-the-church-a-mother/1 page
2776. The Church A Mother
| Answers in Genesis Take each member of the Church individually, he is a child; take us altogether, we make up the mother, the Church. Even when she is not continually using the name, yet is she a tender and affectionate nursing-mother to all her offspring. I shall begin here very briefly to speak about this mother.
2777-the-queen-of-sheba-a-sign/1 page
2777. The Queen Of Sheba, A Sign
| Answers in Genesis Firstly, the conduct of the queen of Sheba condemns unbelievers; secondly, that condemnation is strengthened by many circumstances connected with her history; and, thirdly, the condemnation of such a witness must be solemn and overwhelming.

2843-the-seed-by-the-wayside/1 page
2843. The Seed By The Wayside
| Answers in Genesis Sin hardens the heart. Every sin makes room for another sin, and it is always easier to sin again after you have sinned once. Indeed, more, I might even say that it becomes almost inevitable that you will sin again after you have sinned once. Sin hardens the mind so that it does not receive the gospel.
2844-seed-on-a-rock/1 page
2844. Seed On A Rock
| Answers in Genesis Mmore than all things, dread insincerity; next to that, above all other things, dread superficiality in religion. Know yourself; know Christ Jesus as your Saviour; know the work of the Holy Spirit; all this is knowable, and must be known, or else, before long, you will wither away because you have no depth of earth.
2845-lacking-moisture/1 page
2845. Lacking Moisture
| Answers in Genesis These people lacked that moisture. They were converted, as far as they were converted at all, through the eloquence of the preacher. Or they were converted by the zeal and earnestness of Christian people. But, if you were converted by one man, another man can unconvert you.
2846-no-root-in-themselves/1 page
2846. “No Root In Themselves.”
| Answers in Genesis It is a comparatively easy thing to increase the church roll, but it is only God’s almighty grace that can preserve to the end those whose names are written in our church records. It is better to have only one convert who will endure to the end than twenty who only endure for a while, and in time of trial fall away.
115. Why Are Men Saved?
| Answers in Genesis The first one is the question of authorship: who made all these things? And the next question is that of design: For what purpose were all these things created?
110-heavenly-worship/1 page
110. Heavenly Worship
| Answers in Genesis To the Hebrew mind Mount Sion was a type of heaven, and very justly so. Among all the mountains of the earth none was to be found so famous as Sion.
72-israel-at-the-red-sea/1 page
72. Israel at the Red Sea
| Answers in Genesis No doubt the children of Israel supposed that now all was over; the Egyptians had sent them away, entreating them to depart, and loading them with riches.
2995. Very Exceptional
| Answers in Genesis Ahithophel was a man of keen perception, and those who consulted him
followed his advice with as much confidence as if he had been an
oracle from heaven.
2458. Reasons For An Exceptional Question
| Answers in Genesis The great Son of David knew that the man who cried to him,
“Have mercy on me,” really meant by that plea, “Lord, give me my
sight.” Yet our blessed Lord never asked a foolish question, and
never spoke an idle word. There is a deep meaning, a gracious reason,
in all that he says.
2955. Simple But Sound
| Answers in Genesis To know your blindness is good, but it is not enough. It would be a dreadful thing for you to go from an awakened conscience on earth to a tormenting conscience in hell.

3505. A Miracle of Grace
| Answers in Genesis With weeping and earnest pleading he besought that his life might be spared. His prayer was heard, his tears were seen, and his petition was granted by God.
