Confidence (4)

Dost thou believe that thou canst not be saved but by the death of Christ? The sick man answereth, Yes. Then let it be said unto him, Go to then, and whilst thy soul abideth in thee, put all thy confidence in this death alone. Place thy trust in no other thing. Commit thyself wholly to this death. Cover thyself wholly with this alone. Cast thyself wholly on His death. Wrap thyself wholly in this death. And if God would judge thee, say, "Lord, I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and Thy judgment; and otherwise I will not contend with Thee." And if He shall say unto thee that thou art a sinner, say, "I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and my sins." If He shall say unto thee that thou hast deserved damnation, say, "Lord, I put the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between Thee and all my sins; and I offer His merits for my own, which I should have and have not." If He say that He is angry with thee, say, "Lord, I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and Thy anger."Anselm

Anselm Death Sickness Confidence Judgement

Beware of self-confidence. Judas was a very confident man of himself. Last of all Judas said, "Master, is it I?" (Matt. 26:25). But he that was last in the suspicion was first in the transgression. "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool," saith Solomon (Prov. 28:26). It will be your wisdom to keep a jealous eye upon your own hearts and still suspect their fairest pretenses.

We are proud creatures, full of self-confidence, and therefore God, by strange and unexpected providences doth hedge up our way with thorns and wall up our path with hewn stones, brings to despair even of life, bereaves us of counsel, drives us from all our own shifts and policies, brings us under the very sentence of death that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead. He unbottoms us by despair, convinces us of our impotence and folly, shows us what babies and fools we are in ourselves, that in all our future hazards and fears we might know nothing but God.

We walk into the future in God-glorifying confidence, not because the future is known to us but because it is known to God. And that's all we need to know. Worry about the future is not simply a character tic, it is the sin of unbelief, an indication that our hearts are not resting in the promises of God.
