But, saith another, I am so heartless, so slow, and, as I think, so indifferent in my coming, that, to speak truth, I know not whether my kind of coming ought to be called a coming to Christ. Answ. You know that I told you at first, that coming to Christ is a moving of the heart and affections towards him.
Now by this it is clear that the sin that is unpardonable is one thing, and the sin against the Son of Man another; that sin that is against the Son of Man is pardonable; but if that was the sin against the Holy Ghost, it would not be pardonable; therefore the sin against the Son of Man is not the sin against the Holy Ghost, the unpardonable sin. Answ. 1.
But you will say, How doth the law kill and strike dead the poor creatures? Answ. The letter or law doth kill thus. Now all men as they come into the world are in this condition, that is, condemned by the law. Yet not believing their condemnation by the law really, they do not also believe really and effectually the law that doth condemn them.
I am, indeed, under conviction, but I may perish; and if I go on in my sins, I can but perish; and it is ten, twenty, and an hundred to one if I be saved, should I be ever so earnest for heaven. Answ. That few will be saved must needs be a truth, for Christ hath said it; that many go far, and come short of heaven, is as true, being testified by the same hand. But what then?
Is not thy heart so full of desires after the things of another world, that many times thou dost even forget the things of this world? Prithee read this scripture, Job 23:12. Query Second. Yea, but when I go into secret, and intend to pour out my soul before God, I can scarce say anything at all. Answ. 1. Ah! Sweet soul!
He is the end of the law, mark; he is the end of the law for righteousness. But if there were anything yet to be done for justification, which was not then done; there could not be an end put to the law for righteousness, for every one that believeth. Answ. 4. I answer, Fourthly, That though Christ Jesus did not justify sins of ungodliness, yet he justifieth the ungodly.
Behold, the greatness of thy sins cannot hinder; let not the stubbornness of thy heart hinder thee, sinner. Object. But I am ashamed. Answ. Oh! Do not be ashamed to be saved, sinner. Object. But my old companions will mock me. Answ. Oh! Do not be mocked out of eternal life, sinner. Thy stubbornness affects, afflicts the heart of thy Saviour. Carest thou not for this?
Do you think that I do mean that my righteousness will save me without Christ? If so, you mistake me, for I think not so; but this I say, I will labour to do what I can; and what I cannot do, Christ will do for me. Answ.
The porch, at which was an ascent to the temple, had a gate belonging to it. This gate, according to the prophet Ezekiel, was six cubits wide. Now here some may object, and say, Since the way to God by these door were so wide, why doth Christ say the way and gate is narrow? Answ.
But how, if they have exceeded many in sin, and so made themselves far more abominable? They are the ringleading sinners in the county, the town, or family. Answ. What then? Shall that hinder the execution of Shall-come?
