MRS. WM. W. CHASE

By Mrs. Wm. W. Chase

From Sr. Chase.

BRO. SMITH: I ever want to stand in my lot and place. And I have been encouraged and cheered so often by the testimonies in the REVIEW, that I have thought I would like to say a few words in return. It has been about five years since I started to try to keep all the commandments of God; and I can truly say that I delight to do the will of God. Yet I find another law within me that wars against the law of God. I find that often when I would do good evil is present with me. I often feel to say, Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? But thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
How wonderful is the goodness of God! For when we were sinners, and condemned by the law, and the penalty was death, God so loved us that he gave his only Son to die for us, the just for the unjust. He came and took upon himself the nature of man, that he might bear all the temptations, sufferings, and trials, that man could suffer; and yet he sinned not. He did not transgress God's holy law, therefore he fulfilled the law. It had no condemnation for him, therefore he was a fit sacrifice for man. The claims of the law were fulfilled in him, and man's redemption purchased. There is, therefore, now no condemnation to those which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Wherefore by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned. Therefore, as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
I love to think and meditate upon the precious truths of the Bible, and especially upon the plan of redemption and salvation for man. Oh! that man would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised, and so speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Your sister in the hope of redemption through Christ at his coming.
