The Redeemed Soul in God's Hand
Psalm 31:5
Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.


I. THE BELIEVER HAS BEEN REDEEMED BY GOD. This Divine redemption —

1. Is a deliverance from the greatest of all evils, the service of Satan — ignorance, disease, remorse, death, hell.

2. Was effected at an infinite cost — the death of Him who is one with the Father.

3. Is an eternal redemption of the entire nature.

II. THE BELIEVER IS ASSURED OF HIS REDEMPTION.

1. This assurance comes of faith.

2. Feeling thus assured of our redemption, God should constantly be the object of our love, and our lives be dedicated to His service.

III. THE BELIEVER, FEELING ASSURED OF HIS REDEMPTION, TRUSTFULY YIELDS HIS SPIRIT INTO THE HAND OF HIS MAKER, WHEN HE DEPARTS THIS LIFE. "Be ye also ready." "Prepare to meet your God."

(Thos. Evans.)
