If we were left to ourselves…

“What makes you better than anyone else?” (1 Corinthians 4:7)

Reader, are there not the same lusts lodging in your heart–which are reigning in wicked men’s lives? The reason why there is so little self-condemnation, is because there is so little self-examination.

If we were left to ourselves but for a moment–we would destroy ourselves in that moment! We can defile ourselves–but we cannot cleanse ourselves. The sheep can go astray alone–but can never return to the fold, without the assistance of the shepherd.

“Hold me up–and I shall be safe!” (Psalm 119:117)
- William Secker, ‘The Consistent Christian’ 1660 | HT: Grace Gems

One Response to “If we were left to ourselves…”

  1. Venus says:

    If we were left to ourselves then our world would be an evil evil place. In my opinion I don’t think there will be any good because only good comes from God and evil comes from satan. Thank God we have God and Thank God we have a loving God because without God we will all do truly evil deeds and be truly evil. We should all bow our heads and pray to God and thank him that he is in our lives today because the God of this world keeps us from knowing Christ who is the image of God.
