If He Have Faith, The Believer Cannot

To Be Convinced In Our Hearts That We Have Forgiveness Of Sins And Peace With God By Grace Alone Is The Hardest Thing.

The Heavenly Blessing Is To Be Delivered From The Law, Sin And Death; To Be Justified And Quickened To Life: To Have Peace With God; To Have A Faithful Heart, A Joyful Conscience, A Spiritual Consolation; To Have The Knowledge Of Jesus Christ; To Have The Gift Of Prophecy, And The Revelation Of The Scriptures; To Have The Gift Of The Holy Ghost, And To Rejoice In God.

But Then Eject Them Forever From This Country. For, As We Have Heard, God's Anger With Them Is So Intense That Gentle Mercy Will Only Tend To Make Them Worse And Worse, While Sharp Mercy Will Reform Them But Little. Therefore, In Any Case, Away With Them!

It Is Certainly True That Reason Is The Most Important And The Highest Rank Among All Things And, In Comparison With Other Things Of This Life, The Best And Something Divine. It Is The Inventor And Mentor Of All The Arts, Medicines, Laws, And Of Whatever Wisdom, Power, Virtue, And Glory Men Possess In This Life.

The Believing Man Hath The Holy Ghost; And Where The Holy Ghost Dwelleth, He Will Not Suffer A Man To Be Idle, Butstirreth Him Up To All Exercises Of Piety And Godliness, And Of True Religion, To The Love Of God, To The Patient Suffering Of Afflictions, To Prayer, To Thanksgiving, And The Exercise Of Charity Towards All Men.
