How Can God Stoop Lower Than To

We Fear Men So Much, Because We Fear God So Little.

God, To Prevent All Escape, Hath Sown The Seeds Of Death In Our Very Constitution And Nature, So That We Can As Soon Run From Ourselves, As Run From Death. We Need No Feller To Come With A Hand Of Violence And Hew Us Down; There Is In The Tree A Worm, Which Grows Out Of Its Own Substance, That Will Destroy It; So In Us, Those Infirmities Of Nature That Will Bring Us Down To The Dust.

Paul Was Nero's Prisoner, But Nero Was Much More God's... But How Does The Great Apostle Spend His Time In Prison?... We Read Of No Dispatches Sent To Court To Procure His Liberty; But Many To The Churches, To Help Them To Stand Fast In The Liberty Wherewith Christ Had Made Them Free... The Devil Had As Good Have Let Paul Alone, For He No Sooner Comes Into Prison But He Falls A Preaching, At Which The Gates Of Satan's Prison Fly Open, And Poor Sinners Come Forth.

And Therefore You Who Think So Basely Of The Gospel And The Professors Of It, Because At Present Their Peace And Comfort Is Not Come, Know It Is On The Way To Them, And Comes To Stay Everlastingly With Them; Whereas Your Peace Is Going From You Every Moment, And Is Sure To Leave You Without Any Hope Of Returning To You Again. Look Not How The Christian Begins, But Ends. The Spirit Of God By His Convictions Comes Into The Soul With Some Terrors, But It Closeth With Peace And Joy.

How Can God Stoop Lower Than To Come And Dwell With A Poor Humble Soul? Which Is More Than If He Had Said, Such A One Should Dwell With Him; For A Beggar To Live At Court Is Not So Much As The King To Dwell With Him In His Cottage.
