\u2018The Justice of God in the damnation of sinners\u2019<\/strong> (extract from Jonathon Edwards)<\/p>\n

It would have been most Just with God for ever to have cast you off;<\/p>\n

But He has had Mercy upon you;<\/p>\n

He hath made His Glorious Grace appear in your \u201cEVERLASTING SALVATION\u201d<\/p>\n

You had no love to God;<\/p>\n

But yet He has exercised unspeakable love to you;<\/p>\n

You have contemned God, and set light by him:<\/p>\n

But so great a value had Gods Grace set on you and your eternity<\/p>\n

that you have been redeemed at the price of the blood of His own Son.<\/p>\n

You chose, to be with Satan in his service;<\/p>\n

But yet God hath made you a joint heir with Christ of His Glory.<\/p>\n

You were ungrateful for past mercies;<\/p>\n

Yet God not only continued those mercies, but bestowed unspeakably greater mercies upon you.<\/p>\n

You refused to hear when God called,<\/p>\n

Yet God heard you when you called.<\/p>\n

You abused the infiniteness of Gods mercy to encourage yourself in sin against him;<\/p>\n

Yet God has manifested the infiniteness of that mercy, in the exercises of it towards you.<\/p>\n

You have rejected Christ, and set Him at nought;<\/p>\n

And yet He is become your saviour.<\/p>\n

You have neglected you own salvation;<\/p>\n

but God has not neglected it.<\/p>\n

You have destroyed yourself;<\/p>\n

But yet in God has been your help.<\/p>\n

God has magnified His free grace towards you,<\/p>\n

And not to others,<\/p>\n

Because He has chosen you,<\/p>\n

And it hath pleased Him to set His love upon you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
