2. Another Character of a man that is without an interest in God, is this, he is such a one that lives in the world without making the Word of God to be his rule. Joh. 8. 47. He that is of God, heareth 1Gods Word; you therefore hear him not, because you are not of God: those that will not make the Word of God to be their rule, and conform their practises in obedience thereunto, Christ says the reason of it is because they are not of God: and so in 1 Joh. 24. 6. He that knoweth God, heareth us, and he that is not of God, heareth not us; and therefore you that walk after the vain imaginations of your own hearts, that are swayed and ruled by your lusts, and will not make Gods Word a bridle to curb, and restrain your lusts and corruptions, but you will do what you list, let God command what he will: all these are manifest arguments, that you are not of God.
