Love to Christ, necessary to escape the curse at his coming

What a sandy Foundation then is the hope of multitudes built upon; That because they are not openly profane, they bless themselves, and make no question but God will bless them too. Like the Pharisee, Luke 18.11. God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. Thou proud Pharisee! What if thou art no Swearer by the Blood and Wounds of Christ, yet thou art no Lover of Christ, and for that thou shalt be accursed. Thou blind Pharisee! What if thou art no Reproacher, or Persecutor of Christ, yet thou art no Lover of Christ, for this thou shalt be accursed. Thou Self-deluding Pharisee! What if thou art no Blasphemer of his Sacred Name, no Opposer of his holy Ways; no Drunkard, no Adulterer, no Thief nor Robber, yet thou art not a Christ lover, and for this thou shalt be Anathema. What if thou art not as other men be, while thou art not what thou oughtest to be? What if thou art not as this Publican, while thou art not as this man that loveth Christ? the Blessing of God belongs not to thee, but the Curse of God, and his Wrath shall overtake thee. Oh look about you, and search and see what Sins of Omission you are guilty of, repent and mourn for them, or else you will be cursed and damned for them.
