Supernatural and astonishing',

Back to John Flavel's "The Method of Grace"

---

Now for a soul to renounce and deny self, in all 
its forms, modes, and interests, as everyone does 
who comes to Christ; to disclaim and deny natural, 
moral, and religious self; and come to Christ as a 
poor, miserable, wretched, empty creature, to live 
upon His righteousness forever, is as supernatural 
and astonishing as to see the hills and mountains 
start from their bases and centres, and fly like 
wandering atoms in the air!
