You are a welcome guest at the<br \/>\ntable of the promises. Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled<br \/>\nwith boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may draw<br \/>\nfrom it as much as you please, without let or hindrance. Come in faith<br \/>\nand you are welcome to all covenant blessings.

We have permission to approach his throne at all<br \/>\ntimes-in midnight&#8217;s darkest hour, or in noontide&#8217;s most burning heat.<br \/>\nExercise thy right, O believer, and live up to thy privilege. Thou art<br \/>\nfree to all that is treasured up in Christ-wisdom, righteousness,<br \/>\nsanctification, and redemption. It matters not what thy need is, for<br \/>\nthere is fulness of supply in Christ, and it is there for thee. O what<br \/>\na &#8220;freedom&#8221; is thine! freedom from condemnation, freedom to the<br \/>\npromises, freedom to the throne of grace, and at last freedom to enter<br \/>\nheaven!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.&#8221; &#8212; Galatians 5:1 This &#8220;liberty&#8221; makes us free to heaven&#8217;s charter-the Bible.
