Jeremiah 3:19. And give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father;
When God gives us the spirit of children then it becomes easy for him to put us among the children. Where the nature of children is given by divine regeneration, the rights of children may well be given by adoption. "I said, Thou shalt call me, My Father."
Jeremiah 3:19. And shalt not turn away from me.
I always look upon that second part of the blessing as being perhaps the richer of the two. The final perseverance of the saints forms the cluster of crown jewels that it found in the gasket of the covenant. "Thou shalt not depart from me. Thou shalt not turn away from me." Oh -
"If ever it should come to pass
That sheep of Christ could fall away
My fickle, feeble soul, alas!
Would fall ten thousand times a day."
But he that has begun the good work has promised to carry it on. There is our safety and our rest. "Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me."
