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

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the self-destructive nature of sin,
illustrating that just as various figures in history faced their demise
through their own actions, so too will individuals face eternal
destruction due to their own choices. He presents a stark choice between
life and death, urging listeners to recognize the justice in their fate
if they choose to reject God. Brooks warns that if one opts for sin over
salvation, they will ultimately bear the consequences of their folly,
shame, and misery, which are of their own making.

Remember this, that as Noah was drunk with his own wine,

and as Goliath was beheaded by his own sword, and as the

rose is destroyed by the canker that it breeds in itself, and

as Agrippina was killed by Nero, to whom she gave breath;

so if ever you are eternally destroyed--you will be destroyed

by yourselves! If ever you are undone, you will be undone

by yourselves! If ever you are scourged to death, it will be

by rods of your own making! And if ever the bitter cup of

damnation be put into your hands, it will be found to be of

your own preparing, mingling, and embittering!

Behold, I have set life and death, heaven and hell, glory

and misery, before you in this treatise; and therefore, if

you will needs choose . . .

death rather than life,

hell rather than heaven,

misery rather than glory,

what can be more just--than that you should perish

to all eternity? If you will not have God for your portion,

you shall be sure to have His wrath for your portion,

and hell for your portion! Every man shall only thank . . .

his own folly for his own bane,

his own sin for his own everlasting shame,

his own iniquity for his own endless misery!
