The despondency of an unbeliever is different. He does not despond, because he has lost sight of the objects of faith, for he never had any faith; and there is, therefore, no preparation in his heart to welcome the doctrines of grace, of free forgiveness, of redemption through the blood of Christ, of eternal life for sinners. These things are not realities to him. His faith never embraced them. When, therefore, in his despondency, whether he looks at his own wickedness or looks at God, he sees only darkness. Especially, the love and mercy of God, the death of Christ for sinners, all redemption, are things as dark to him as his own soul. He does not realize them as facts; much less does he embrace them for himself. In the self-righteousness of his spirit he desponds, because he thinks himself too guilty to be forgiven. He is a mere legalist; he sees only the law,-not Christ.
I think I fall into this category. I'm ready to look up with faith and I confess my heart shrinks within me and I find myself doubting. Forsaking All, I Trust Him.
GOD will not let a wandering fool who has recieved grace wander away the greatest consolation for the vilest of sinners whose hope is in Christ Jesus Our Lord Our Love🫂❤️✝️
