"When we sin,
who are the chosen favorites of heaven,
we sin with an emphasis;
ours is a crying offence, because we are so peculiarly indulged.
If an angel should lay his hand upon us when we are doing evil,
he need not use any other rebuke than the question,
Be honest with thine own soul, and make sure that thou art a new
creature in Christ Jesus; but when this is sure, walk jealously, lest
any should again be able to say, "Even thou wast as one of them." (Obadiah 1:11)
who are the chosen favorites of heaven,
we sin with an emphasis;
ours is a crying offence, because we are so peculiarly indulged.
If an angel should lay his hand upon us when we are doing evil,
he need not use any other rebuke than the question,
"What thou?
What dost thou here?"
Thou
wouldst not desire to share their eternal doom,
why then be like them
here?"
Charles Spurgeon
