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.
1. One is the greatnesse of our sins. 2. A second, is the greatnesse of Gods mercies we need. 3. A third is the greatnesse of our unworthinesse. 4. A fourth is the greatnesse of our evil deserts.
My sins are so great, that I cannot expect that God will ever do me good: The mercies and blessings that I need, are so great, and I can lay down nothing for them. And I am unworthy of the least of mercies; nay, I deserve to be rejected and cursed! But now the graciousness of God is able effectually to remove all these discouragements.
