Overview Constitutional BasisĪlthough the Fourth Amendment states that "no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause", it does not specify what "probable cause" actually means.
Persons arrested without a warrant are required to be brought before a competent authority shortly after the arrest for a prompt judicial determination of probable cause. Under exigent circumstances, probable cause can also justify a warrantless search or seizure. Courts usually find probable cause when there is a reasonable basis for believing that a crime may have been committed (for an arrest) or when evidence of the crime is present in the place to be searched (for a search). Our communion and reasoning with Him is eternal.Probable cause is a requirement found in the Fourth Amendment that must usually be met before police make an arrest, conduct a search, or receive a warrant. We have a good God, abounding in mercy and patience.
Here sinners may reason with him from the virtue and efficacy of his blood and sacrifice and from the Lord’s proclamation of grace and mercy through him and from his promises to forgive repenting and confessing sinners: and here God reasons with sensible souls from his own covenant promises and proclamations to forgive sin from the aboundings of his grace over abounding sin from the righteousness of Christ to justify, his blood to cleanse from sin, and his sacrifice to atone for it. When the Lord was pleased to encourage them to draw near to him, and come and reason with him: not at the bar of his justice there is no reasoning with him there none can contend with him, or answer him, one of a thousand if he marks iniquity in strict justice, none can stand before him there is no entering the lists with him upon the foot of justice, or at its bar:īut at the bar of mercy, at the throne of grace there the righteous may dispute with him from his declarations and promises, as well as come with boldness to him and at the altar and sacrifice of Christ, and at the fountain of his blood: These, seeing their sins in their dreadful colours, and with all their aggravating circumstances, were ready to conclude that they were unpardonable and, seeing God as an angry Judge, dared not come nigh him, but stood at a distance, fearing and expecting his vengeance to fall upon them, and therefore put away the promises, and refused to be comforted These words stand not in connection either with the preceding or following, but are to be read in a parenthesis, and are thrown in for the sake of the small remnant God had left among this wicked people, in order to comfort them, being distressed with sin.
In the verse, God is speaking to His chosen people Israel.Ĭome now, and let us reason, together, saith the Lord,…. It is the LORD God telling His people to approach Him to reason with Him, and to do it in confidence and not in fear. But it’s not in that book.Ĭome now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. People are surprised when they learn that the following verse is not in the New Testament.
