Psalms 100

Question: Why we must glorify God? Response: 1. Because he gives us our being (Psalm 100:3). It is he that has made us.

Question 2. Why we must cleave to the Lord as our God? Answer 1. From the equity of it: It is but equal we should cleave to him, as our God, from whom we receive our being: Who can have a better right to us, than he that gives us our breath (Psalm 100:3): for it is he that has m…

A father is but the instrument of conveying life, but God is the original cause of our being. Psalm 100:3. For it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves. Honor and adoration is a pearl that belongs only to the crown of Heaven.

And who could create a soul ennobled with such rare, angelic properties, but God? We must needs say as the Psalmist, It is he that has made us, and not we ourselves (Psalm 100:3). 2. We may prove a deity by our own conscience.

And after their session at Christ's right-hand, it shall be proclaimed, Thus shall it be done to the persons whom the King of Heaven will honor. Does not all this deserve thankfulness (Psalm 100:1)? Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.

The forgiveness of this sin, was bought by the slander of ignorance, and blasphemy laid on Christ, and the anguish of his soul, which he felt for our errors laid on him; by which also we die to this sin, and raise this part of obedience (Ephesians 4:13). After this true acknowle…

Then is there a stamp of God's majesty on the duty. (2.) His goodness and fatherly love, (Psalm 100:2) "Serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with singing." (3.) His holiness, (2 Timothy 1:3) "I thank God whom I serve from my forefathers, with pure conscienc…

Borders of Gold, and studs of Silver (it's like) have been some special ornaments in these days, and that which is here pointed at by them, in general seems to be an addition to what formerly the Bride possessed, he would add to her beauty, and gloriously complete it: And certai…

But yet though these seem Contrary one to the other, yet where ever this falls out, a sense agreeable to the Analogy of faith ariseth fairly from either word. As to give one or two instances: Psalm 100. verse 3. [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉] he hath made us, and not we our selves,

Can a man be Religious and scarce ever think of it? 3. We are deeply obliged to think on God. 1. God is our maker, Psalm 100:3. It is he that has made us, and not we our selves.

By that we know him, for that we love him, and make our addresses to him: we admire him for his other titles and attributes, but this does first insinuate with us, and invite our respects to him. The first means by which the Devil sought to loosen man from God, was by weakening…

Which Paul explains of the times of the Gospel (Romans 10:14). Psalm 100:1: Make a joyful noise to the Lord all you lands; and verse 2: Come before his presence with singing. All you lands, implies the nations of the Gentiles, as well as of the Jews; which pertains to the times…

1. If by the Commandment of God, and indeed by the light of nature, if all men be bound to pray to God in their distresses (as even Jonah's Mariners will confess in a storm, Jonah 1:6), then all men are likewise bound to sing to the praise of God in their deliverances, and comfo…

One question is, By whom were you made? We have an answer to this, in (Psalm 100:3): Know you, that the Lord, he is God, and it is He that has made us, and not we ourselves. Thus the Psalmist does once argue, O come, let us worship before the Lord our maker.

2. Discontent is evil in the concomitants of it, which are two. 1. Discontent is joined with a sullen melancholy; a Christian of a right temper should be ever cheerful in God; Serve the Lord with gladness (Psalm 100:2). A sign the oil of grace has been poured into the heart, whe…

But we did not contrive and choose this condition for ourselves, we are no ways accessory to the dignity and excellency of our beings; but God chose this condition for us, and made us what we are. So that we may say, with David (Psalms 100:3, 4, 5), 'Tis he that has made us, and…

And (Psalm 42:4): When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me; for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day. (Psalm 100:4): Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and in…
