“Whosoever Believeth on Him
Shall Not Be Ashamed” Late Mr. N. Daniel
Romans 10:1-11
Vs.11 "For the
scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not
be ashamed."
Moses and prophets brought the truth of God transmitted
through their mind. Man, by his mental exercise, can get a kind of
righteousness. But it will be a dead righteousness. The gospel came through the
perfect transmitter Jesus Christ. This gospel is first meant for the heart of
man and not the mind. If the gospel enters just the mind of man, a kind of
self-complacence comes into the man. Even if we obey just the Mosaic law, we do get a kind of blessing. But that will not be
conversion. Vs.9 "That if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt
believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Your heart is made for the
gospel and the heart is satisfied only when the gospel reaches it. You must
believe the gospel that our sin caused the death of the God-man Jesus Christ.
If a mother's action were to bring death to her child, she would weep all her life.
Your sin brought death to Jesus Christ. Has this entered your heart? Many think
the gospel means, 'Do this and do that.' No, that is the Mosaic law. This law can never produce love. A Christian is truly
free only when he can love the unlovely. Jesus died for you in order to raise
you to the love level. God had to come down and become like you and had to fulfil the law. When Jesus fulfilled the law; there was an
end of the law and the gospel of grace began. Jesus puts a spring of love and
life into the head which comes out through the mouth. Intellectual men may
speak their mind through the mouth but to no effect. If you realize you are
such a bad sinner as to cause the death of Jesus, a new life begins. When this is
believed with the heart, spontaneous righteousness springs within you. When
Jesus rose from the dead, a power was released which can lift
you. When you
believe with the heart, the resurrection of Jesus comes into you
and you are raised higher and higher till your nature becomes saintly. You are lifted and lifted higher. You believe
and that belief of the heart becomes righteousness.
This is the righteousness of faith.
Philippians 3:9 “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which
is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the
righteousness which is of God by Faith."
When you repent you weep for your sin. The spirit of God in
you is weeping. When you speak, the
spontaneous gospel that comes out of your heart through your words,
will make others also weep. In Erode area in a place where missionaries were
driven away, it was possible to arrange meetings only at midnight because of my
tight programme. When the gospel was given, the floor
was so wet with tears, I slipped on the floor as I
walked. I Cor 14:25 "And thus are the secrets of
his heart made manifest and so falling down on his face, he will worship God
and report that God is in you of a truth." When a man is truly converted
and is preaching, the secrets of the head are made manifest. Men who come and
listen to you know immediately that God is in you. The heart is very deep and
when you unearth it in repentance, the heart becomes the place where the Holy
Spirit dwells. When your sins are completely unearthed, your body will become
new and the ruined parts of the body will become new. John 16:13 "Howbeit
when he, the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he
shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak
and he will show you things to come." Joel 2:26&27. "And ye shall
eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you, and my people
shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of
