Leanness Of Body And Soul May Go

It Is The Spirit Alone That Can Mortify Sin; He Is Promised To Do It, And All Other Means Without Him Are Empty And Vain. How Shall He, Then, Mortify Sin That Has Not The Spirit? A Man May Easier See Without Eyes, Speak Without A Tongue, Than Truly Mortify One Sin Without The Spirit.

For To Pretend That Men May Live Habitually Sinful Lives Without Any Attempt By The Spirit To Mortify Sin In Them, Nor With Any Desire For Repentance, Is To Deny The Christian Religion.

Sin Will Be Always Acting, If We Be Not Always Mortifying, We Are Lost Creatures.

It Being Our Duty To Mortify... We Must Be At Work. He That Is Appointed To Kill An Enemy, If He Leave Striking Before The Other Ceases Living, Does But Half His Work.

We Cannot Enjoy Peace In This World Unless We Are Ready To Yield To The Will Of God In Respect Of Death. Our Times Are In His Hand, At His Sovereign Disposal. We Must Accept That As Best.
