The truly blessed man

1. Consider, you are all of you by Sin become Guilty before God; all the world by nature are in this condition, Rom. 3.19. Whatever other difference the Gospel privileges have made between some and others, which are great, and are not to be despised, but prized; yet herein all are alike. There is never a Child of Adam can excuse himself from Sin; and Guilt is an inseparable concomitant of Sin, according to the Law under which you are; that hath said, Ezek 18.4. The Soul that Sins, that Soul shall die; and there is no man, whiles under the Law, that can exempt himself from it.

2. Hence except your sins are covered, you are undone; if Sin rise up and appear against you, when you come to your trial, it will procure that Condemnation which will ruin you for ever, read the Sentence, and that will be enough to convince you of this, Mat. 25.34. Depart ye Cursed, &c. and is not he an undone man on whom this must pass? for as sure as you are Creatures, so certainly will it be executed, if once it proceed from the mouth of the Judge against you.
