in The Primitive Baptist vol.10 no.1 (Jan. 1845)
NOW, BRETHREN, LET US TRUST IN GOD, who works
all things after his own will, and has promised that all things
shall—not may, if I can—no, but shall work together for good
to them who are the called according to his purpose, (not ours)
no, but his purpose. So let him be God, and we his poor needy
creatures looking to him and depending on him to work in us
to will and do that which is right and acceptable before him.
For he says, ye the saints, or the church, are my workmanship
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which he hath before
ordained that ye should walk in them. |
