Professions.

By Edwards

If persons pretend to high attainments in religion, but do not appear to have arrived at certain lower attainments, it is an evidence that their profession is of no value. For example, if they profess to be greatly affected by the obvious violations of the commands of God in their practice; or if they profess to venture their souls upon Christ, trusting the faithfulness of God in his promises, for their eternal welfare; but at the same time have not confidence enough to trust Him with a small part of their property, devoted to pious and charitable purposes; under these circumstances their professions are manifestly of no value.—Edwards.
