3. It has been vehemently objected, Thirdly, that Christ is the only means of grace. I answer, this is mere playing upon words. Explain your term, and the objection vanishes away. When we say, “Prayer is a means of grace,” we understand, a channel through which the grace of God is conveyed. When you say, “Christ is the means of grace,” you understand, the sole price and purchaser of it: or, that _no man cometh unto the Father, but thro’ him_. And who denies it? But this is utterly wide of the question. 4. “But does not the scripture (it has been objected, fourthly) direct us to _wait_ for salvation? Does not _David_ say, _My soul waiteth upon God: for of him cometh my salvation_? And does not _Isaiah_ teach us the same thing, saying, _O Lord, we have waited for thee_?” All this cannot be denied. Seeing it is the gift of God, we are undoubtedly to _wait_ on him for salvation. But how shall we wait? If God himself has appointed a way, can you find a better way of waiting for him? But, that he hath appointed a way, hath been shewn at large, and also what that way is. The very words of the prophet which you cite, put this out of all question. For the whole sentence runs thus; _In the way of thy judgments_, or ordinances, _O Lord, have we waited for thee_. (_Isaiah_ xxvi. 8.) And in the very same way did _David_ wait, as his own words abundantly testify: _I have waited for thy saving health, O Lord, and have kept thy law, teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end_. 5. “Yea, say some, but God has appointed another way, _Stand still and see the salvation of God_.” Let us examine the scriptures to which you refer. The first of them, with the context, runs thus: _And when |Pharaoh| drew nigh, the children of |Israel| lift up their eyes――and they were sore afraid. And they said unto |Moses|, because there were no graves in |Egypt|, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? And |Moses| said unto the people, fear ye not: stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. And the Lord said unto |Moses|, speak unto the children of |Israel|, that they go forward. But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of |Israel| shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea_, Exod. xiv. 10, _&c._ This was the _salvation_ of God, which they _stood still_ to see, by _marching forward_ with all their might!
