THE LORD OUR LIGHT!

TO THOSE OF US NATURAL MAN AMERICANS AS WELL AS US SPRITUAL NEW CREATION AMERICANS THIS SERMON BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD WILL BE WORTH LISTENING TO OVER AND OVER. THE NEW SPIRITUAL CREATION IS PRECISELY THAT, A CREATION OF A NEW LIFE. JESUS IS NOT INTO THE REMODELING BUSINESS, FOR IF THAT WOULD BE SO, THE NEW CREATION WOULD NOT BE A CREATION OF A NEW LIFE, BUT SIMPLY A REMODELING OF OUR NATURAL MAN. THE NEW SPIRITUAL CREATION IS AS DIFFERENT FROM OUR NATURAL MAN AS A CAT IS FROM A DOG AS WE HAVE MENTIONED MANY TIMES. GEORGE WHITEFIELD IN THIS SERMON, LIKE JONATHON EDWARDS DOES IN RELIGIOUS AFFECTIONS, DISTINGUISHES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEW CREATION WHICH ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NATURAL MAN, AS DIFFERENT AS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A CAT FROM A DOG. OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIANS ENCOURAGING US, CONTRARY TO COMMON SENSE, TO COOPERATE IN THE NEW CREATION, AND MAKE IT UNLIKE OUR NATURAL BIRTH, THUS OUR SPIRITUAL BIRTH ENDS UP BEING NOTHING MORE THAN A REMODELED NATURAL MAN. ALSO GEORGE WHITEFIELD LIKE MARTIN LUTHER IN HIS 95 THESES MAKES IT PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE NEW CREATION, BEING PARADOXICAL IN NATURE, IS IN A STATE OF REPENTANCE OR THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING OR THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS WHICH IS MORBID AND FOOLISH TO OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIANS AND FRIENDS, FOR THEIRS US A FALSE NEW CREATION WHICH IN REALITY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A REMODELED NATURAL MAN: IT IS LIKE TRYING TO GET A DOG TO MEOW.
