GOD GLORIFIED IN MAN’S DEPENDANCE-PT. 2-BY JONATHON EDWARDS

THIS MESSAGE IS PART 2 OF THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE ENTITLED ‘GOD GLORIFIED IN MAN’S DEPENDANCE’. JONATHON EDWARDS MAKES THE FOLLOWING VERSE WRITTEN BY FORMER MR. MORALITY TO HIS BRETHREN IN CORINTH COME ALIVE: 1 COR. 1: [29] That no flesh should glory in his presence. SO THE QUESTION WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA MUST ASK OURSELVES IS: WHEN DO WE AS AMERICANS NOT GLORY IN CHRIST’S PRESENCE, FOR NOT GLORYING IN CHRIST’S PRESENCE IS A NECESSITY NOT ONLY AS A NEW CREATION BUT IN BEING MADE A NEW CREATION. THIS MESSAGE IS DEEP, AND WELL WORTH LISTENING TO. THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO LIST SOME OF JONATHON EDWARDS PROPOSITIONS OF SELF EXAMINATION TO HELP US TO SELF EXAMINE OURSELVES IN ORDER TO KEEP OURSELVES IN A STATE OF REPENTANCE. ​Do I manifest an attitude of openness toward God that would invite him to “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts”? (Psalm 139:23-24)​Is my heart eager to learn of “any wicked way” in me?​Are my motives for self-examination correct—that I might be led “in the way everlasting”?​Is it important for me to know whether or not I live in a state of sin?​Do I live in the gratification of some lust, either in thought or in deed?​Do I live in the omission of some known duty?​Am I sinning against the light of my conscience in some way, by going on in known sins?​Have I been careful, watchful, and diligent in observing myself for evidence of sin in commission or omission?​Have I lived in some way which is inconsistent with my Christian profession, and is not suitable for disciples and followers of Jesus?​Have I allowed myself to become blinded by the deceitful nature of habitually gratified sin?
