II. CHRIST IS A STRONGHOLD, BECAUSE OF THE ABSOLUTE PERFECTION OF HIS OBEDIENCE, AND THE ENTIRE ADEQUACY OF HIS ATONEMENT. Holiness and justice.

III. CHRIST IS A STRONGHOLD, BECAUSE GOD HAS ACTUALLY ACCEPTED OF HIS VICARIOUS WORK. Faithfulness.

IV. CHRIST IS A STRONGHOLD, BECAUSE AS A KING HE HATH SAT DOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY ON HIGH. Power.

V. THE TESTIMONY OF MEN — THOSE "WHO HAVE FLED FOR REFUGE."

(James Stewart.)
