Grace denial?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winslow, “The\nGlory of the Redeemer in His People”<\/em>
\n
\nBe cautious of grace denial<\/strong>.
\n
\nYou will need much holy wisdom here, lest
\nyou overlook the work of the Spirit within you.
\n
\nYou have thought, it may be, of the
\nglory that Christ receives from….
\nbrilliant genius,
\nand profound talent,
\nand splendid gifts,
\nand glowing zeal,
\nand costly sacrifices,
\nand even extensive usefulness.
\n
\nBut have you ever thought of the glory, the far
\ngreater, richer glory, that flows to Him from….
\nthe contrite spirit,
\nthe broken heart,
\nthe lowly mind,
\nthe humble walk;
\nthe tear of godly repentance that falls
\nwhen seen by no human eye;
\nthe sigh of godly sorrow that is breathed
\nwhen heard by no human ear;
\nthe sin abhorrence;
\nthe self loathing;
\nthe deep sense of vileness, and poverty, and
\ninfirmity that takes you to Jesus with the prayer:
\n“Lord, here I am; I have brought to You….
\nmy rebellious will,
\nmy wandering heart,
\nmy worldly affections,
\nmy peculiar infirmity,
\nmy besetting and constantly overpowering sin.
\nReceive me graciously, put forth the mighty power
\nof Your grace in my soul, and subdue all, and rule
\nall, and subjugate all to Yourself! Will it not be for
\nYour glory, the glory of Your great name…..
\nif this strong corruption were subdued by Your grace;
\nif this powerful sin were nailed to Your cross;
\nif this temper so volatile,
\nif this heart so impure,
\nif these affections so truant,
\nif this mind so dark,
\nif these desires so earthly,
\nif these pursuits so carnal,
\nif these aims so selfish,
\nwere all entirely renewed by Your Spirit, sanctified by
\nYour grace, and made each to reflect Your image? Yes,
\nLord, it would be for Your glory, through time and
\nthrough eternity.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
