Consider That It Is Not Failing In

Your State Is Not At All To Be Measured By The Opposition That Sin Makes To You, But By The Opposition You Make To It.

To Say That We Are Able By Our Own Efforts To Think Good Thoughts Or Give God Spiritual Obedience Before We Are Spiritually Regenerate Is To Overthrow The Gospel And The Faith Of The Universal Church In All Ages.

The Growth Of Trees And Plants Takes Place So Slowly That It Is Not Easily Seen. Daily We Notice Little Change. But, In Course Of Time, We See That A Great Change Has Taken Place. So It Is With Grace. Sanctification Is A Progressive, Lifelong Work (prov 4:18). It Is An Amazing Work Of God's Grace And It Is A Work To Be Prayed For (rom 8:27).

We Must Not Be Concerned Only With That Which Troubles Us, But With All That Troubles God.

Not To Be Daily Mortifying Sin, Is To Sin Against The Goodness, Kindness, Wisdom, Grace, And Love Of God, Who Hath Furnished Us With A Principle Of Doing It.
