Birds of Prey
By Samuel Logan Brengle0GEN 15:9Samuel Logan Brengle emphasizes the necessity of complete surrender to God for entire sanctification, illustrating this through Abraham's offering and the persistent 'birds of prey' that represent doubts and temptations from Satan. He encourages believers to resolutely drive away these doubts and to trust in God's promises, asserting that true faith is not based on feelings but on the unwavering belief in God's word. Brengle highlights the importance of making a public declaration of faith to solidify one's commitment and to resist the devil's attempts to undermine that faith. He reassures that while waiting for God's confirmation, believers should focus on righteousness rather than happiness, and maintain their trust in God's faithfulness. Ultimately, he calls for a bold profession of faith as a means to secure one's sanctification and to stand firm against the adversary.
