Back to Man's religion & God's religion
I have so much opposition within, so many temptations, lusts, and follies—so many snares and besetment's—and a vile heart, dabbling in all carnality and filth. I am indeed exercised "by sin and grace." Sin or grace seems continually uppermost—striving and lusting against one another. What lusting's, sorrowing's—falling's, risings—defeats—and victories.
,br> What a battlefield is the heart—and there the fight is lost and won! When sin prevails, mourning over its wounds and slaughter. When grace and godly fear beat back temptation, a softening into gratitude.
