Personal Religion.

By Spurgeon

WHAT does it matter to you or to me what John Calvin said, or John Wesley either? They were glorious men, and did a world of good in their day, but, instead of wishing to wear their shoes, let us wear our own; for they are far more likely to fit our feet; and let us come to this Book, and find out what God would have us know, by the use of our own personal judgment. This will make men of us. To be fed upon spoon victuals forever will leave us nothing but babes, such as sects might delight in, but such as men should not desire to remain. “To law and the testimony” let us come. It is the best way of creating a Christian unity; and, throwing aside the prejudices of birth, and all other prejudices so far as we can, let us seek to believe the whole Gospel, for we are put in trust of it as such, and although we may, and must I suppose, make some mistakes, yet we should come as nearly as we can to the holding of the whole counsel of God.—Spurgeon.
