| | Re: | | ...We are all apt to divorce comfort from duty and to content ourselves with a 'barren and unfruitful knowledge' of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:8) as if all that he required of the world were only a few naked and cold and inactive apprehensions of his merit and all things were so done for us that nothing remained to be done by us. This is the wretched conceit of many in the present age, and therefore, either they abuse the sweetness of grace to looseness or the power of it to laziness. Christ's merit and the Spirit's efficacy are the commonplaces from whence they draw all the defenses and excuses of their own wantonness and idleness.
It is true God hath opened an excellent treasure in the church to defray the expenses of humble sinners, and to bear the expenses of the saints to heaven; but there is nothing allowed to wanton prodigals who spend freely and sin lavishly upon the mere account of the riches of grace...
- Thomas Manton (1620-1677) from preface to his work: James, A Practical Commentary. |
