Connie Wright Posted >> From a sermon entitled What Must I Do to Be Saved? by Cotton Mather who preached in Boston at the beginning of the 1700s: You must feel the Burden of your sin, lying on you; and cry out, Oh Tis a heavy Burden too heavy for me! You must see God Angry with you, Sin Binding of you, Hell gaping for you; and utterly Despair of helping yourselves out of the confusion that is come upon you. You must be filled with sorrow, for what you have done; with horror at what you are Exposd unto. The Cry of your Uneasy Souls must be that; of Romans 7:24. O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me! You must be no strangers to such soliloquies as these; I have sinned; I have sinned, and, woe is unto me, that I have sinned, I have lost the knowledge of God and lost the Image of God, and lost the Favour of God. My Sin renders me obnoxious to the Vengeance of God. Lust enchants me, enslaves me; Satan Tyrannizes over me. I am in hourly Hazzard of an Eternal Banishment from God, into Outer Darkness, into the Place of Dragons. Oh! wretched man that I am: I can do nothing to deliver myself. I perish, I perish, except a Glorious Christ be my deliverer. Would to God that we had a few more preachers today who would not be afraid to preach against sin!
