Faith, If It Be A

When We Realize A Constant Enemy Of The Soul Abides Within Us, What Diligence And Watchfulness We Should Have! How Woeful Is The Sloth And Negligence Then Of So Many Who Live Blind And Asleep To This Reality Of Sin. There Is An Exceeding Efficacy Nad Power In The Indwelling Sin Of Believers, For It Constantly Inclines Itself Towards Evil. We Need To Be Awake, Then, If Our Hearts Would Know The Ways Of God. Our Enemy Is Not Only Upon Us, As It Was With Samson, But It Is Also In Us.

Consider Who And What You Are; Who The Spirit Is That Is Grieved, What He Has Done For You, What He Comes To Your Soul About, What He Has Already Done In You; And Be Ashamed. Among Those Who Walk With God, There Is No Greater Motive And Incentive Unto Universal Holiness, And The Preserving Of Their Hearts And Spirits In All Purity And Cleanness Than This: That The Blessed Spirit, Who Has Undertaken To Dwell In Them, Is Continually Considering What They Give Entertainment In Their Hearts Unto, And Rejoices When His Temple Is Kept Undefiled.

Christ So Loves His People That He Sings With Joy Over Them.

Indwelling Sin Always Abides Whilst We Are In This World; Therefore It Is Always To Be Mortified.

Because He Is; That Is, Because He Is An Infinitely Glorious, Good, Wise, Holy, Powerful, Righteous, Self-subsisting , Self-sufficient , And All-sufficient Being; The Fountain And Author Of All Being And Good; The First Cause, Last End, And Sovereign Lord Of All; Therefore, He Is To Be Worshipped: Therefore, Are We To Admire, Adore, And Love Him; To Praise, To Trust And To Fear Him.
