SAVED FROM SIN.

Unless we are saved from sin in this life, we can not hope to be glorified in the life to come, for nothing impure can enter heaven. If saved at all, we must be saved by faith in Christ. He is the only Saviour of sinners. We must consecrate ourselves unreservedly to Him, and

by the power of His Spirit and grace be pardoned and purified, before we are fit to enter heaven. We must not make any parley with sin. The old leaven of wickedness must be cast out. Christ did not come to cripple but to destroy the works of the devil; and we should not be satisfied with anything else.

The Bible makes no allowance for sin, and we should not give it any quarter. It is our great enemy, and we should not be satisfied until we have gained a complete victory over it. This is our privilege, and also our duty. Sin, we are assured, shall not have dominion over us. The strong man armed must be cast out, and Christ enthroned in the heart as Lord of all. Thus saved from sin through Christ on earth, we shall be glorified with Him forever in heaven. —Anon.
