We are not only to do some things, but we are to do all things, and we
are to continue so to do, so that the least deviation from the moral
law, according to the covenant of works, whether in thought, word, or
deed, deserves eternal death at the hand of God. And if one evil
thought, if one evil word, if one evil action deserves eternal
damnation, how many hells, my friends, do every one of us deserve whose
lives have been one continued rebellion against God! Before ever,
therefore, you can speak peace to your hearts, you must be brought to
see, brought to believe, what a dreadful thing it is to depart from the
living God. GEORGE WHITEFIELD.
