        <br />
        We often know the <strong>theory</strong> of the gospel,<br />
        before we know the <strong>experience</strong> of the gospel. <br />
        <br />
        We often receive the doctrines of grace into <br />
        our<strong> judgment</strong>, before we receive the grace of <br />
        the doctrines into our<strong> soul</strong>.<br />
        <br />
        <strong>We therefore need to be . . .</strong><br />
        brought down,<br />
        humbled,<br />
        tried,<br />
        stripped of every prop;<br />
        <strong>that the gospel may be to us . . .</strong><br />
        more than a sound,<br />
        more than a name,<br />
        more than a theory,<br />
        more than a doctrine,<br />
        more than a system,<br />
        more than a creed;<br />
        <strong>that it may be . . .</strong><br />
        soul enjoyment,<br />
        soul blessing,<br />
        and soul salvation. <br />
        <br />
        <strong>When the Holy Spirit preaches the gospel</strong> <br />
        to the poor in spirit, the humbled, stripped, <br />
        and tried--it is a gospel of glad tidings indeed <br />
        to the sinner's broken heart.
