Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Or, a Treatise of the Saints War Against the Devil, Vol. 3 of 3: Wherein a Discovery Is Made of That Grand Enemy of God and His People, in His Policies, Power, Seat of His Empire, Wickedness, and Chief Design He Hath Against the Saints The Comforting Property of the Word to bleeding Consciences. Thirdly, Its power to comfort and raise a dejected spirit. Conscience is God´s prison in the creature´s own bosom, from whence none can have his release, except by his warrant that made the mittimus, and committed him thither. Indeed he is a weak prince, that hath no prison to commit offenders unto, but what another can break open. This where God lays sinners in chains, is not such. A wounded spirit, saith Solomon, who can bear? Yea, and who can cure? If any creature could, surely then the devils were as able as any to do it: but we see they have not to this day found the way to shake off those fetters which God keepeth them in; but lie roaring under the unspeakable torment of God´s wrath; and they who cannot cure their own wounds, are like to be but poor physicians to help others; indeed they acknowledge it beyond their skill and power: Wherefore dost thou ask of me, said the devil to Saul, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thy enemy? 1 Sam. xxviii. 16. The distress of an afflicted conscience ariseth from the dismal sense of divine wrath for sin; now none can remove this, but he that can infallibly assure the soul of God´s pardoning mercy; and this lies so deep in God´s heart, that God alone, who only knoweth his own thoughts, can be the messenger to bring the news; and therefore the word which doth this, can come from none but him; and that it is able not only to do this, but also to fill the soul with joy unspeakable, and full of glory, is a truth so undoubted, that we need not ascend up to heaven for further confirmation; that spirit which first indited the word, hath sealed it to the hearts of innumerable believers.
