I Do Not Understand How A Man

Meditate On The Word In The Word.

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.

Let Our Hearts Admit, “i Am Poor And Weak. Satan Is Too Subtle, Too Cunning, Too Powerful; He Watches Constantly For Advantages Over My Soul. The World Presses In Upon Me With All Sorts Of Pressures, Pleas, And Pretences. My Own Corruption Is Violent, Tumultuous, Enticing, And Entangling. As It Conceives Sin, It Wars Within Me And Against Me. Occasions And Opportunities For Temptation Are Innumerable. No Wonder I Do Not Know How Deeply Involved I Have Been With Sin. Therefore, On God Alone Will I Rely For My Keeping. I Will Continually Look To Him.

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.

He, Then, That Would Really, Thoroughly, And Acceptably Mortify Any Disquieting Lust, Let Him Take Care To Be Equally Diligent In All Parts Of Obedience, And Know That Every Lust, Every Omission Of Duty, Is Burdensome To God, Though But One Is So To Him.
