9. Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him. Faith knows that a saving God is always near at hand, but only
(for such is the true rendering) to those who fear the Lord, and worship him
with holy awe. In the Gospel dispensation this truth is conspicuously
illustrated. If to seeking sinners salvation is nigh, it is assuredly very nigh
to those who have once enjoyed it, and have lost its present enjoyment by their
folly; they have but to turn unto the Lord and they will enjoy it again. We
have not to go about by a long round of personal mortifications or spiritual
preparations; we may come to the Lord Jesus Christ, just as we did at the
first, and he will again receive us.
