We Can Have No Power

The Vigour, And Power, And Comfort Of Our Spiritual Life Depends On The Mortification Of The Deeds Of The Flesh.

Without Absolutes Revealed From Without By God Himself, We Are Left Rudderless In A Sea Of Conflicting Ideas About Manners, Justice And Right And Wrong, Issuing From A Multitude Of Self-opinionated Thinkers.

Unless We Are Thoroughly Convinced That Without Christ We Are Under The Eternal Curse Of God, As The Worst Of His Enemies, We Shall Never Flee To Him For Refuge.

Though We Are Commanded To 'wash Ourselves', To 'cleanse Ourselves From Sins', To 'purge Ourselves From All Our Iniquities', Yet To Imagine That We Can Do These Things By Our Own Efforts Is To Trample On The Cross And Grace Of Jesus Christ. Whatever God Works In Us By His Grace, He Commands Us To Do As Our Duty. God Works All In Us And By Us.

We Ought As Much To Pray For A Blessing Upon Our Daily Rod As Upon Our Daily Bread.
