Superabounding grace
(J. C. Philpot, "The Superaboundings of
Grace over the Aboundings of Sin", 1862)
"But where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound." Romans 5:20
What are all the gilded toys of time compared
with the solemn, weighty realities of eternity!
But, alas! what wretches are we when left to
sin, self, and Satan! How unable to withstand
the faintest breath of temptation! How bent
upon backsliding!
Who can fathom the depths of the human heart?
Oh, what but grace, superabounding grace,
can either suit or save such wretches?
"But where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound." Romans 5:20
