Untitled Sermon (5)

1543Such is the state of every human heart till God the Holy Spirit visits it. So far as spiritual things are concerned, the human heart is in a state of chaos and disorder. There is no thought of faith, of love, of hope, of obedience. It is spiritually a confused mass of dead sinfulness, in which everything is misplaced. It is void or utterly empty.—11.637

Charles Spurgeon

Every man in the world is in one of two positions—he is either ‘under sin’ or else he is ‘under grace’. He is either being ruled over and governed by sin, or else he is under the reign of, and is being ruled over by grace. Those, I repeat, are the only two possible positions.

Assurance, 304
