Awake to righteousness, and sin not;
for some have not the knowledge of God:
I speak this to your shame.
"There are very many who claim to serve God, but who have no experimental knowledge of Him.
--Their desire to do His will is based upon their own inclination,
-----not upon the deep conviction of the Holy Spirit.
Their conduct is not brought into harmony with the law of God.
--They profess to accept Christ as their Savior,
-----but they do not believe that He will give them power to overcome their sins.
*They have not a personal relation with a living Savior,
***and their characters reveal defects both hereditary and cultivated."
E.G.W.
