Something must be done; For, we are sure, All men are not Saved. There are some, who are Children of Perdition; There are some, who are Vessels of Wrath; There are some, who go away into Everlasting Punishment. Something must be done, to distinguish you from that Crooked Generation. We Read, Mat. 7.14. Narrow is the way which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.
Indeed there is Nothing to be done by us, to Merit our Salvation. But Something must be done to Secure our Salvation.
Indeed there is Nothing to be done by us, in our own Strength. But Something must be done by us, through' Christ who strengthens us.
Indeed there is Nothing to be done by us, in our own Strength. But Something must be done by us, thro' Christ who strengthens us.
More Plainly. Our Blessedness now comes not unto us, on the Terms of a Covenant of Works. Tis not properly our Doing, that is the Condition of our Blessedness. We are to be Saved by Taking, rather than by Doing, The Condition is, Receive and be Saved. Or Be willing to be Saved. We speak of Doing, in the Largest sense of the word; and we still say, Something must be done, that we may be Saved.
