<p>&quot;<strong>Save me, and I shall be saved!</strong>&quot; Jeremiah 17:14 <br />
  <br />
  This implies <strong>salvation from the power of sin</strong>;<br />
  the secret dominion sin possesses in the heart.<br />
  <br />
  O, what a tyrannical rule does sin sometimes <br />
  exercise in our carnal minds! How soon are we <br />
  entangled in flesh-pleasing snares! How easily <br />
  brought under the secret dominion of some hidden <br />
  corruption! And how we struggle in vain to deliver <br />
  ourselves when we are caught in the snares of <br />
  the devil, or are under the power of any one lust, <br />
  besetment, or temptation! <br />
  <br />
  The Lord, and the Lord alone can save us from all <br />
  these things. <strong>He saves from the power of sin by . . .</strong><br />
  bringing a sense of His dying love into our hearts, <br />
  delivering us from our idols,<br />
  raising our affections to things above,<br />
  breaking to pieces our snares,<br />
  subduing our lusts,<br />
  taming our corruptions, and<br />
  mastering the inward evils of our dreadfully fallen nature.<br />
  <br />
  Here is this<strong> sin!</strong> Lord, save me from it.<br />
  <br />
  Here is this <strong>snare! </strong>Lord, break it to pieces.<br />
  <br />
  Here is this <strong>temptation!</strong> Lord, deliver me out of it.<br />
  <br />
  Here is this <strong>lust!</strong> Lord, subdue it.<br />
  <br />
  Here is my <strong>proud heart!</strong> Lord, humble it.<br />
  <br />
  None but the Lord can do these things for us . . . <br />
  nothing but the felt power of God, <br />
  nothing but the putting forth of His mighty arm, <br />
  nothing but the shedding abroad of His dying love, <br />
  nothing but the operations of His grace upon our soul, <br />
  can deliver us from the secret power of evil. <br />
  <br />
  &quot;<strong>Save me, and I shall be saved!</strong>&quot;
