“Temperament and Tendencies”
Matthew 5:20
I could never live good enough to convince God to save me. There is no list of rules set up for me to live by that are good enough to help me make it. The simple rule is, “Jesus in me, the hope of Glory,” And by faith I trust Him to get me to heaven, and while I am yet here on this earth, I’m to have Him in every thought and top priority in all that I do. I’m not saved by what I do, again because “I’m sealed unto the day of redemption,” and “The work He has begun in me, He will finish it.” In light of that, I pray like the Psalmist, “Search me Oh God, and see if there be any wicked way in me,” and if there are any secret sins, reveal them to me, that I sin not against you. Not so I can finally work my way to heaven, but that I may live out what is in me. I can never be pure enough or clean enough, but the old nature must conform to the Spirit of grace and truth, making me able to be an overcomer by faith. Only in redemption is this possible.
“Condition”
I stand in an awkward position,
without His disposition;
I must come under contrition,
and God will make the transition.
