We Can Have No Power From Christ

No Man Shall Ever Behold The Glory Of Christ By Sight Hereafter Who Does Not In Some Measure Behold It Here By Faith.

The Vigour, And Power, And Comfort Of Our Spiritual Life Depends On The Mortification Of The Deeds Of The Flesh.

Set Faith At Work On Christ For The Killing Of Thy Sin. His Blood Is The Great Sovereign Remedy For Sin-sick Souls. Live In This, And Thou Wilt Die A Conqueror; Yea, Thou Wilt, Through The Good Providence Of God, Live To See Thy Lust Dead At Thy Feet.

To Believe That He Will Preserve Us Is, Indeed, A Means Of Preservation. God Will Certainly Preserve Us, And Make A Way Of Escape For Us Out Of The Temptation, Should We Fall. We Are To Pray For What God Has Already Promised. Our Requests Are To Be Regulated By His Promises And Commands. Faith Embraces The Promises And So Finds Relief.

Sin Aims Always At The Utmost; Every Time It Rises Up To Tempt Or Entice, If It Has Its Own Way It Will Go Out To The Utmost Sin In That Kind. Every Unclean Thought Or Glance Would Be Adultery If It Could, Every Thought Of Unbelief Would Be Atheism If Allowed To Develop. Every Rise Of Lust, If It Has Its Way Reaches The Height Of Villainy; It Is Like The Grave That Is Never Satisfied. The Deceitfulness Of Sin Is Seen In That It Is Modest In Its First Proposals But When It Prevails It Hardens Men’s Hearts, And Brings Them To Ruin.
