A Sermon Preached at Kensington Church, on June the 29th, 1794 - After the Victory Gained at Sea, June the 1st

In a chapter previous to that from whence my text is taken, our blessed Saviour, had been preaching his most excellent sermon on the mount to his disciples, wherein he had diffused comfort and consolation, adding thereunto satisfaction to the whole human race, and after having pointed out his doctrine in a very specific manner, the many and various duties, of a good christian; exhorting p. 4all to follow minutely the good advice contained in his discourse, charging them not only to be hearers of the gospel, but doers also, intimating therein, that it availeth little, to listen and hearken, to whatever religion, and virtue, instruct, direct, and authorize mankind to do, provided the greater and more important part, is omitted, which our blessed Redeemer, during the whole time while he was on earth, was unweary in well doing, and particularly exhorting all those who wished to follow him, to imitate continually, and that was the practical part of religion; let us not be faint hearted, nor profess with our lips, and utter with our tongue, what our heart knows we are not able to perform; let us shew forth Gods praises and thanksgivings, that by being attentive hearers, and having received the fruits of good works go forth with joy and publish the glad tidings of Salvation, for unto us is born a son the Saviour of the world. For every one of you shall be known by your fruits, for every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but an evil tree bringeth forth evil and corrupted fruit, and is hewn down and cast into p. 5the fire, and as the tree is more valuable that bringeth forth good fruit to its earthly possessor, so much greater value, shall those men be of to their heavenly father, who from their first entrance into life have delighted in good works and actions, how much more shall they be rewarded in a future state of bliss, than those, whose evil deeds have multiplied their sorrows and sins here, and worn out their constitution. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
