The Devil's trap

Back to "An Alarm to the Unconverted"

"Then they may come to their senses and escape
the Devil's trap, having been captured by him
to do his will." 2 Timothy 2:26

It is the common misery of all the unsaved—that the 
devil is their god. His drudges they are, and his lusts 
they do. However Satan may provide his slaves with 
various pleasures—yet it is but to draw them into 
endless perdition. O dreadful case!

The serpent comes with the fruit in his mouth, but, 
like Eve—you do not see the deadly sting! He who is 
now your tempter—will one day be your tormentor! 
O that I could but make you see how bad a master 
you serve, how merciless a tyrant you gratify; whose 
pleasure is to make your perdition and damnation 
sure, and to heat the furnace hotter and hotter in 
which you must burn for millions and millions of ages!
