- 1There can be nothing to discourage us in our addresses to him, and expectations from him.
There are four things which are apt to discourage our hearts, when we think of drawing near to God.
1. One is the greatness of our sins. 2. A second, is the greatness of Gods mercies we need. 3. A third is the greatness of our unworthiness. 4. A fourth is the greatness of our evil deserts.
