The sinners last sentence to eternal punishment, for sins of omission

3. The destructiveness of Sins of Omission to the Souls of men appears, in that they render the Condition of men desperate, and without remedy. Sins of Commission wound the Soul dangerously, but sins of Omission make the state of the Patient hopeless and desperate. Sins of Commission are directly against the Law, and so bind the Sinner ⟨p. 163⟩over to its Curse; but Sins of Omission are directly against the Gospel, and thereby hinder the Patients Cure, Gal. 3.20. Joh. 3. ult. He that hath broken the Precepts of the Law, is liable to its punishment; but yet this Sinner may fly to the Gospel, as his City of Refuge, and lay hold on Christ there tendered for Pardon and Life. But by some sins of Omission, he rendereth the Gospel ineffectual for his good, and himself uncapable of the good things promised in it. Faith and Repentance are the two Conditions upon which all the exceeding rich and precious Promises depend; so that by not believing, and not repenting, which are Sins of Omission, men deny themselves all the benefit and advantage of the Gospel. He that believeth shall be saved, he that believeth not shall be damned, Mark 16.16. He upbraided the Cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not. Woe to thee Corazin, woe to thee Bethsaida, &c. Matth. 11.21, 22, 23. Sins of Commission make the wound, and Sins of Omission keep off that Plaster, which alone can heal it. Sins of Commission ⟨p. 164⟩plunge us into a bottomless gulf of Misery, and Sins of Omission stop the current of that Mercy that alone can relieve and succour us. These Sinners are like men in swoons, gasping for breath, and ready to expire; yet shut their mouths, and fasten their teeth together, to keep out those Cordials that alone can recall them to life.
