It Is Often Those Who

No Wonder If Such Persons Look Upon Imputed Righteousness As The Shadow Of A Dream, Who Esteem Those Things Which Evidence Its Necessity To Be But Fond Imaginations. And Small Hope Is There To Bring Such Men To Value The Righteousness Of Christ, As Imputed To Them, Who Are So Unacquainted With Their Own Unrighteousness Inherent In Them. Until Men Know Themselves Better, They Will Care Very Little To Know Christ At All.

For To Pretend That Men May Live Habitually Sinful Lives Without Any Attempt By The Spirit To Mortify Sin In Them, Nor With Any Desire For Repentance, Is To Deny The Christian Religion.

Ignorance Of God And Of Ourselves Is The Great Principle And Cause Of All Our Disquietments; And, This Ariseth Mostly Not From Want Of Light And Instruction, But For Want Of Consideration And Application.

It Is Not The Glorious Battlements, The Painted Windows, The Crouching Gargoyles That Support A Building, But The Stones That Lie Unseen In Or Upon The Earth. It Is Often Those Who Are Despised And Trampled On That Bear Up The Weight Of A Whole Nation.

God Never Intended For Us To Be Left To Pray On Our Own. God Never Changes His Purpose, But He Often Does Purpose A Change.
