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,
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."
