Utter beggary and complete bankruptcy

(Joseph Philpot) "O visit me with your salvation." Psalm 106:4 Salvation only suits the condemned, the lost. A man must be lost; utterly lost; before he can prize God's salvation. And how is he lost? By . . . losing all his religion, losing all his righteousness, losing all his strength, losing all his confidence, losing all his hopes, losing all that is of the flesh; losing it by its being taken from him, and stripped away by the hand of God. A man who is brought into this state of utter beggary and complete bankruptcy . . . to be nothing, to have nothing, to know nothing; he is the man, who is . . . crying, groaning, begging, suing, seeking, and praying for God's salvation to his soul. "O visit me with your salvation." Psalm 106:4
