Believers are a little flock

Thoughts from JC Ryle

Professing servants of God have sometimes been many. But true Christians are few. It is foolish to be surprised at this.

For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.Matt 7:14.

Believers are tenderly loved by the Father. It is his good pleasure to give those of us that have been sealed with salvation a kingdom.

Are we members of Christ’s little flock? Then we ought not be afraid. God is ours and Christ is ours. Greater are those that are for us than all that are against us. The world, the flesh and the devil (and sometimes those that profess Christ but show no fruit) are mighty enemies. But with Christ on our side we have no cause to fear.

He is with us to the end of the age.
