"Baskets of Fragments for the Children (1833)," published in The Primitive Baptist, (1843)
HOW COMES HE TO CALL THEM holy brethren, for no man is so by nature or good works? Why the reason is obvious; because they had been partakers of the heavenly calling, or the calling mentioned in the
other text the holy calling, and in the last text heavenly calling; which is one and the same calling although expressed in different words, holy and heavenly calling, a holy calling, or speaking to sinners in that manner, because it is the Holy Ghost, or the holy Spirit of God, that calls the sinner from darkness to light, or from death to life. Second, because when the Holy Ghost infuses into his heart holy desires, holy thirstings, holy longings, holy prayings, holy wishes to be holy; and implants the principle of holiness in the heart, from his first touch on the sinner’s heart, and from that moment the Holy Ghost gives him this touch or call, the war between sin and grace begins never to cease. |
