There Is A Certain Work
To Be Accomplished.
We Are To Be Delivered From
The Power Of Sin.......
We Are To Be Transformed By The
Renewing Of Our Minds......Besetting
Sins Are To Be Conquered.
Bad Habits Are To Be Overcome.
Wrong Dispositions And Feeling Are
To Be Rooted Out, And Holy Tempers
And Emotions Are To Be Begotten.
A Positive Transformation Is To Take
Place.
So At Least The Bible Teaches.
Now Somebody Must Do This.
Either We Must Do It For Ourselves,
Or Another Must Do It For Us.
We Have Most Of Us Tried To Do It For
Ourselves At First, And Have Grievously
Failed; Then We Discover From The Scriptures
And From Our Own Experience That It Is A Work
We Are Utterly Unable To Do For Ourselves, But
That The Lord Jesus Christ Has Come On Purpose
To Do It, And That He Will Do It For All Who Put
Themselves Wholly Into His Hand, And Trust Him To
Do It.
Now Under These Circumstances, What Is The Part
Of Believer, And What Is The Part Of The Lord?
Plainly The Believer Can Do Nothing But Trust;
While The Lord, In Whom He Trusts, Actually Does The Work.
- Hannah Whitall Smith 1830-1911
