Those who have not humbled their souls before God in acknowledging their guilt, have not yet fulfilled the first condition of acceptance.

The Lord does not require us to do some grievous thing in order that we may have the forgiveness of sin. We needContinue reading “The Conditions of Obtaining Mercy of God Are Simple”

As you see the enormity of sin, as you see yourself as you really are, do not give up to despair. It was sinners that Christ came to save.

“Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart”—the human heart, with its conflicting emotions of joy and sorrow; the wandering, wayward heart, which is the abode of so much impurity and deceit. 1 Samuel 16:7.
