The Riches of Bunyan: Selected from His Works
Bunyan, John
Theology, Doctrinal
2. Remember that God's wrath burns against it, and that he will
surely be revenged on it, and on all that give it entertainment.
This made Job afraid to countenance it, and put him upon departing
from it: "For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason
of his highness I could not endure." Job 31: 23.
3. Remember the mischiefs that it has done to those that have
embraced it, and what distress it has brought upon others. This made
the whole congregation of Israel tremble to think that any of their
brethren should give countenance to it. Joshua 22: 16-18.
4. Remember what Christ hath suffered by it, that he might deliver
us from the power of it. This made Paul so heartily depart from it,
and wish all Christians to do so as well as he. 2 Cor. 5: 14.
5. Remember that those that are now in hell-fire went thither for
that they loved iniquity, and would not depart from it. Psalm 9: 17;
11:6.
6. Remember that a profession is not worth a pin, if they that make
it do not depart from iniquity. James 2:16, 17.
7. Remember that thy death-bed will be very uneasy to thee, if thy
conscience at that day shall be clogged with the guilt of thy
iniquity. Hos. 7: 13, 14.
8. Remember that at the judgment-day Christ will say, Depart from
me, to those that have not here departed from their sin and
iniquity. Luke 13:27; Matt 25:41.
Lastly, Remember well, and think much upon what a blessed reward the
Son of God will give to them at that day, that have joined to their
profession of faith in him a holy and blessed conversation.
