saved by the grace of God.

If this be thy case, fear not, give no way to despair; thou presumest
not, if thou believest to life everlasting in Jesus Christ: yea,
Christ is prepared for such as thou art.

Therefore take good courage and believe. The design of Satan is to
tell the presumptuous, that their presuming on mercy is good; but to
persuade the believer, that his believing is impudent bold dealing
with God. I never heard a presumptuous man in my life say that he
was afraid that he presumed; but I have heard many an honest humble
soul say, that they have been afraid that their faith has been
presumption. Why should Satan molest those whose ways he knows will
bring them to him? And who can think that he should be quiet when
men take the right course to escape his hellish snares? This,
therefore, is the reason why the truly humbled is opposed, while the
presumptuous goes on by wind and tide. The truly humble Satan hates,
but he laughs to see the foolery of the other.

Does thy hand and heart tremble? Upon thee the promise smiles. "To
this man will I look," says God, "even to him that is poor, and of a
contrite spirit, and trembles at my word;" Isa. lxvi. 2.

What, therefore, I have said of presumption concerns not the humble
in spirit at all. I therefore am for gathering up the stones, and
for taking the stumblingblocks out of the way of God's people: and
forewarning of them that lay the stumblingblock of their iniquity
before their faces, and that are for presuming upon God's mercy; and
let them look to themselves; Ezek. xiv. 6-8.
