Sin Will Be Always Acting, If We

We Shall Not Benefit From Reading The Old Testament Unless We Look For And Meditate On The Glory Of Christ In Its Pages.

Great Winds And Storms Help Fruit-bearing Trees. So Also Do Corruptions And Temptations Help The Fruitfulness Of Grace And Holiness. The Storm Loosens The Earth Round Its Roots So The Tree Is Able To Get Its Roots Deeper Into The Earth, Where It Receives Fresh Supplies Of Nourishment. But Only Much Later Will It Be Seen To Bring Forth Better Fruit. So Corruptions And Temptations Develop The Roots Of Humility, Self-abasement And Mourning In A Deeper Search For That Grace By Which Holiness Grows Strong. But Only Later Will There Be Visible Fruits Of Increased Holiness.

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.

There Is No True Gospel Fruit Without Faith And Repentance.

Fill Your Affections With The Cross Of Christ That There May Be No Room For Sin.
