Nothing Shall Be Lost That Is Done

The Scripture Abounds In Commands And Cautions For Our Utmost Diligence In Our Search And Inquiry As To Whether We Are Made Partakers Of Christ Or Not, Or Whether His Spirit Dwells In Us Or Not-which Argue Both The Difficulty Of Attaining An Assured Confidence Herein, As Also The Danger Of Our Being Mistaken, And Yet The Certainty Of A Good Issue Upon The Diligent And Regular Use Of Means To That Purpose.

Herein Would I Live; Herein Would I Die; Hereon Would I Dwell In My Thoughts And Affections; To The Withering And Consumption Of All The Painted Beauties Of This World, Unto The Crucifying All Things Here Below, Until They Become Unto Me A Dead And Deformed Thing, No Way Meet For Affectionate Embraces.

Selfishness Is The Making A Man's Self His Own Centre, The Beginning And End Of All He Doeth.

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.

I Did Not Hear What I Should Have Listened To.
