Before you can speak peace to your heart, you must be brought to see that God may damn you for the best prayer you ever put up; you must be brought to see that all you duties–all you righteousness… are so far from recommending you to God, are so far from being any motive and inducement to God to have mercy on our poor soul, that He will see them to be filthy rags…that God hates them, and
cannot away with them, if you bring them to Him in order to recommend you to his favor. My dear friends, what is there in our performances to recommend us unto God?
Whitefield
I read this sermon by George Whitefield for school. It is a very convicting read, and speaks cleary about sin, peace, and God’s grace working in the heart of sinners. I highly recommend this sermon!!!
