Matchless and incomparable riches of free grace – Thomas Brooks
God will have all blessings and happiness to flow from His free grace:
(1.) that the worst of sinners may have strong grounds for hope and comfort;
(2.) for the praise of His own glory;
(3.) that vain man may not boast;
(4.) that our mercies and blessings may be sure to us.
Truly, seeing all happiness and blessedness comes in a way of free grace, and not in a way of doing, not in a way of works, you should arise, O despairing souls! and cast off all despairing thoughts, and drink of the waters of life freely, Rev. 21:6; Rev. 22:18. What though your heart is dead, and hard, and sad; what though your sins be many, and your fears great. Yet behold! Here is glorious grace, rich grace, wondrous grace, matchless and incomparable riches of free grace spread before you.
