It is as possible for thee to enjoy the benefit of the Sons passion, without the Fathers creation, as without the Spirits sanctification. Believe the word of truth, John 3.3. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God: And Hebr. 12.14. Follow holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Consider Friend, this is the Word of the true and living God; and this Law, this standing Law of Heaven, is like the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be altered; not one iota or title of it can possibly go unfulfilled, Math. 5.18. Darest thou think that the God of truth will be found a liar for thy sake, as he must be if he save thee in thy sinful unconverted state? I tell thee, the God of holiness and justice will send millions of such carnal wretches as thou art to hell, there to suffer the vengeance of the unquenchable fire, before he will stain his honour in the least. No, he is more tender of his glory then so; though thou carest not how much thou tramplest his honour in the dust, by the wilful breach of his Commands, yet he is exceeding jealous of his great Name; and when his very being is engaged for the accomplishment of his ⟨p. 180⟩Word, he will not ungod himself to glorify thee in an unsanctified condition; and therefore do not delude thy soul, in presuming that he that made thee will not damn thee; for he saith himself, that unless thou art new made, and hast that true understanding to fear his Majesty, and depart from iniquity, He that made thee will not save thee, and he that formed thee will show thee no mercy, Isai. 27.11, I hope therefore thou art fully convinced, that it highly concerneth thee to be night and day with the greatest diligence imaginable, labouring for this spiritual life, when thine everlasting comfort in the other world, thine eternal life dependeth so much upon it.
