Temptations And Occasions Put Nothing Into A

The Beauty Of The Person Of Christ, As Represented In The Scripture, Consists In Things Invisible Unto The Eyes Of Flesh. They Are Such As No Hand Of Man Can Represent Or Shadow. It Is The Eye Of Faith Alone That Can See This King In His Beauty. What Else Can Contemplate On The Untreated Glories Of His Divine Nature? Can The Hand Of Man Represent The Union Of His Natures In The Same Person, Wherein He Is Peculiarly Amiable? What Eye Can Discern The Mutual Communications Of The Properties Of His Different Natures In The Same Person?

Now Nothing Can Prevent This But Mortification; That Withers The Root And Strikes At The Head Of Sin Every Hour, So That Whatever It Aims At It Is Crossed In.

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.

God Hath Work To Do In This World; And To Desert It Because Of Its Difficulties And Entanglements, Is To Cast Off His Authority. It Is Not Enough That We Be Just, That We Be Righteous, And Walk With God In Holiness; But We Must Also Serve Our Generation, As David Did Before He Fell Asleep. God Hath A Work To Do; And Not To Help Him Is To Oppose Him.

Faith Is The Leading Grace In All Our Spiritual Warfare And Conflict; But All Along While We Live, It Hath Faithful Company That Adheres To It, And Helps It. Love Works, And Hope Works, And All Other Graces, — Self-denial, Readiness To The Cross, — They All Work And Help Faith. But When We Come To Die, Faith Is Left Alone. Now, Try What Faith Will Do.
