DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes that while pride and envy are mortally wounded
at the moment of a believer's conversion, they are not completely
eradicated. He reminds us that even the most devout individuals still
struggle with these lingering sins, highlighting the ongoing battle
against pride, vain-glory, self-love, and envy that persists in the life
of a believer. This sermon serves as a call to recognize and confront
these remnants of sin, encouraging believers to seek continual growth
and sanctification.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Though pride and envy have received their death's wound at the soul's
first conversion--yet they are not quite slain in a believer. The best
of men are but men at the best, and there are still those bitter roots
of pride, vain-glory, self-love, envy, etc., remaining in the godliest
believer.
