Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons "For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted." - Heb. ii. 18. "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." - Heb. iv. 15. There is one experience which no man ever escaped or can ever escape: that is, the experience of temptation. This life necessarily tests every man who passes through it, and on this hinge of temptation our character turns to good or to evil, and by it is our destiny determined. Without temptation no sin would be committed; and without temptation no holiness could be attained. The human wrecks that seem beyond all capacity of repair and refitting, and the victorious athletes of righteousness whom their fellow-men adore, are alike the products of temptation. For it is impossible to see how, without temptation and the training involved in it, men can attain purity and strength of character. All moral worth lies in the will; God cannot confer holiness upon you by a simple act: you must choose it. It is not your holiness until you choose it. Nay, it is not yours until your choice has become a habit, until by a thousand repetitions of choice you have become habitually righteous.
