The Christian Derided

September 10, 2013 by Brian

Faith in the doctrines of Christ, and conformity to the strict commandments of the Gospel, must expose us to the taunts of the unbeliever and the worldling. Yet, where the heart is right with God, the " derision of the proud," instead of forcing us to " decline from the law of God," will strengthen our adherence to it.

Charles Bridges, Exposition of Psalm CXIX, 131.
