ever have peace with God we must be justified by faith through our
Lord Jesus Christ, we must be enabled to apply Christ to our hearts,
we must have Christ brought home to our souls, so as His righteousness
may be made our righteousness, so as His merits may be imputed to our
souls. My dear friends, were you ever married to Jesus Christ? Did
Jesus Christ ever give Himself to you? Did you ever close with Christ
by a lively faith, so as to feel Christ in your hearts, so as to hear
Him speaking peace to your souls? Did peace ever flow in upon your
hearts like a river? Did you ever feel that peace that Christ spoke to
His disciples? I pray God he may come and speak peace to you. These
things you must experience.

I am now talking of the invisible realities of another world, of
inward religion, of the work of God upon a poor sinner's heart. I am
now talking of a matter of great importance, my dear hearers; you are
all concerned in it, your souls are concerned in it, your eternal
salvation is concerned in it. You may be all at peace, but perhaps the
devil has lulled you asleep into a carnal lethargy and security, and
will endeavor to keep you there till he gets you to hell, and there
you will be awakened; but it will be dreadful to be awakened and find
yourselves so fearfully mistaken when the great gulf is fixt, when
you will be calling to all eternity for a drop of water to cool your
tongue and shall not obtain it.
