Continual salvation
(Joseph Philpot)
"I cried unto You; save me, and I shall keep Your testimonies." Psalm 119:146
If you know anything for yourself,
inwardly and experimentally of . . .
the evils of your heart,
the power of sin,
the strength of temptation,
the subtlety of your unwearied foe,
and that daily conflict between nature and grace, the flesh and the spirit, which is the peculiar mark of the living family of heaven; you will find and feel your need of salvation as a daily reality. There is present salvation: an inward, experimental, and continual salvation communicated out of the fullness of Christ as
a risen Mediator.
You need to be daily and almost hourly saved from the . . .
the guilt,
the filth,
the power,
the love, and
the practice
of indwelling sin.
