The Church Of God From The Creation To A.D. 1885

"The religious professor receives doctrines because he sees them in the Bible. The believer not only sees them in the Book, but he feels them in his heart, put there by the Holy Spirit. The believer gets at truth through trouble. He arrives at the banquet of mercy through sharp pangs of hunger. He lays hold of the robe of righteousness, chilled by nakedness. He comes to the cross because he is guilty and there is nowhere else to go. Thus the religionist and the believer (however they may resemble one another) have an eternal distinction which the hand of God has drawn between the living and the dead." J.C. Philpot

Those who have "a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof." They come and go to the means of grace; they are members of Christian societies, living in every point of view what is called a pious life, and pleased and delighted with themselves. Thus they wrap it up, secure with a name to live while dead, having the mere profession, without the life and power of God in the soul. Such may with propriety be considered in the devil's cradle, in which immortal souls are lulled in the sleep of perdition, and , if grace prevent not, will sink them to the regions of the damned; for it is not everyone that saith, "Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven."
