The Vigour, And Power, And Comfort Of

Though We Are Commanded To 'wash Ourselves', To 'cleanse Ourselves From Sins', To 'purge Ourselves From All Our Iniquities', Yet To Imagine That We Can Do These Things By Our Own Efforts Is To Trample On The Cross And Grace Of Jesus Christ. Whatever God Works In Us By His Grace, He Commands Us To Do As Our Duty. God Works All In Us And By Us.

When The Holy Spirit Sanctifies Believers, He Does A Complete Work In Them. He Puts Into Their Minds, Wills And Hearts A Gracious, Supernatural Principle Which Fills Them With A Holy Desire To Live To God. The Whole Life And Being Of Holiness Lies In This. This Is The New Creation.

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

The Pretended Desires Of Many To Behold The Glory Of Christ In Heaven, Who Have No View Of It By Faith While They Are Here In This World, Are Nothing But Self-deceiving Imaginations.

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