If We Do Not Abide In Prayer,

The Mortification Of Indwelling Sin Remaining In Our Mortal Bodies, That It May Not Have Life And Power To Bring Forth The Works Or Deeds Of The Flesh Is The Constant Duty Of Believers.

Faith Is The Leading Grace In All Our Spiritual Warfare And Conflict; But All Along While We Live, It Hath Faithful Company That Adheres To It, And Helps It. Love Works, And Hope Works, And All Other Graces, — Self-denial, Readiness To The Cross, — They All Work And Help Faith. But When We Come To Die, Faith Is Left Alone. Now, Try What Faith Will Do.

Hatred Of Sin As Sin, Not Only As Galling Or Disquieting, A Sense Of The Love Of Christ In The Cross, Lie At The Bottom Of All True Spiritual Mortification.

We Need To Attend Diligently To The State Of Our Soul, And To Deal Fervently And Effectively With God About It.

In The Divine Scriptures, There Are Shallows And There Are Deeps; Shallows Where The Lamb May Wade, And Deeps Where The Elephant May Swim.
