If We Believe Not With Faith Divine

The Natural Man "cannot See Or Discern That Divine Excellency In The Scripture, Without An Apprehension Whereof No Man Can Believe It Aright To Be The Word Of God."

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.

If Our Principal Treasure Be As We Profess, In Things Spiritual And Heavenly, And Woe Unto Us If It Be Not So! On Them Will Our Affections, And Consequently Our Desires And Thoughts, Be Principally Fixed.

He Can Make The Dry Parched Ground Of My Soul To Become A Pool And My Thirsty Barren Heart As Springs Of Water. Yes He Can Make This Habitation Of Dragons This Heart Which Is So Full Of Abominable Lusts And Fiery Temptations To Be A Place Of Bounty And Fruitfulness Unto Himself

As Among All The Doctrines Of The Gospel, There Is None Opposed With More Violence And Subtlety Than That Concerning Our Regeneration By The Immediate, Powerful, Effectual Operation Of The Holy Spirit Of Grace.
