Our Human State

"This is my case
Christ has died for my sins. 
The government of God is ready to set me free-but who shall save me from "an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God?" (Heb. 3:12
 With such a heart
influenced by the temptations of the devil, 
and the allurements of a sinful world, 
I am just as sure (left to myself) 
to sin eternally, as Satan is, 
and must take up my abode with him forever.
It avails me nothing that Christ has atoned for my sins, if I am then cast on my own resources. 
Holy beings fell before the wiles of that subtle tempter, who, like a roaring lion, seeks to devour me, and my evil heart will surely make me a willing prey
I am eternally damned 
unless I can find a Savior from sin."
