Sermon: Dangers to Eternal Salvation

"And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him ; and, behold, a great tempest arose in the sea." (Matt. viii. 23-24) Sermon for the Fourth Sunday After the Epiphany: Dangers to Eternal Salvation "The first means of salvation, then, is to recommend ourselves continually to God, that he may keep his hands over us, and preserve us from offending him. The next is, to cleanse the soul from all past sins by making a general confession. A general confession is a powerful help to a change of life. When the tempest is violent the burden of the vessel is diminished, and each person on board throws his goods into the sea in order to save his life. folly of sinners, who, in the midst of such great dangers of eternal perdition, instead of diminishing the burden of the vessel that is, instead of unburdening the soul of her sins load her with a greater weight. Instead of flying from the dangers of sin, they fearlessly continue to put themselves voluntarily into dangerous occasions; and, instead of having recourse to God’s mercy for the pardon of their offences, they offend Him still more, and compel Him to abandon, them." ✅ For the full text transcript, visit: https://mannaofthesoul.blogspot.com/2023/01/sermon-dangers-to-eternal-salvation.html Please remember to pray for all who made these information available to you.
