Old Guy Quote

And, when the works of the flesh are substituted for faith, self-confidence and pride are the inevitable result. “The reason of this contention lies in the fact that man is not only poor, but proud; not only guilty, but conceited; so that he will not humble himself to he saved upon terms of divine charity. He will not consent to believe God; he prefers to believe in the proud falsehoods of his own heart, which delude him into the flattering hope that he may merit eternal life.” (Spurgeon)
