The Most Tremendous Judgment Of God In

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.

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.

All Spiritual Acts Well-pleasing Unto God, As Faith, Repentance, Obedience, Are Supernatural; Flesh And Blood Revealeth Not These Things.

It Is One Thing To Fear God As Threatening, With A Holy Reverence, And Another To Be Afraid Of The Evil Threatened.

The Greatest Sorrow And Burden You Can Lay On The Father, The Greatest Unkindness You Can Do To Him Is Not To Believe That He Loves You.
