“What MUST we do...”

Here is what Charles Spurgeon once said of the Arminian. As you read this quote let your mind replace “Arminian” with “Roman Catholic.”

Spurgeon once said, “What the Arminian wants to do is to arouse man’s activity: what we want to do is to kill it once for all-—to show him that he is lost and ruined, and that his activities are not now at all equal to the work of conversion; that he must look upward. They seek to make the man stand up: we seek to bring him down, and make him feel that there he lies in the hand of God, and that his business is to submit himself to God, and cry aloud, ‘Lord, save, or we perish.’ We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all. When he says, ‘I can pray, I can believe, I can do this, and I can do the other,’ marks of self-sufficiency and arrogance are on his brow.”
- C. H. Spurgeon

Great quote from Spurgeon.

"We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all"

(Heb 4:11) "Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest...."..."For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his." (Heb 4:10)
