The excellency of holy courage in evil times by Jeremiah Burroughs

A Third use is this, If Faith be that which does deliver from this spiritual Egypt: Then those that are delivered, let them see what hath brought them out; and magnify the work of God; let them stand and admire the Grace of God in delivering them from all difficulties, and in carrying them through, that were so poor and weak as they were: know it was not thy endeavour but the work of Faith, and the work of God in thee. Faith works by a power out of us, and not by our own power; And God delivers the Soul from this spiritual Egypt by Faith, Because he would have the Glory of it. Therefore now if it have been a work of Faith, let this Exhortation prevail with you: Labour to exercise your Faith in going through the Wilderness to Canaan. There was a time you were in bondage under sin and Satan and the Law; And now thou art delivered from the Law, and brought to Grace: Is it Faith hath done it? Let this Faith be employed to carry thee on through the wilderness unto Canaan: And all the Rules that I will give unto you, shall be from the People of Israels going through the wilderness unto Canaan, when they were delivered from Egypt.

There was a time you were in bondage under sin and Satan and the Law; And now thou art delivered from the Law, and brought to Grace: Is it Faith hath done it? Let this Faith be imployed to carry thee on through the wilderness unto Canaan: And all the Rules that I will give unto you, shall be from the People of Israels going through the wilderness unto Canaan, when they were delivered from Egypt.
