Every Man to His Own Way
Isaiah 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.


Though there be one path to heaven, yet there are several ways of sinning and going to hell. The reasons how this cometh to pass are —

1. Because of the activeness of man's spirit. It is always a-devising wickedness.

2. It happeneth through diversity of constitution.

3. It happeneth from their business and occasions in the world. Many men are engaged to ways of sin because they suit best with their employments, the sin of their calling, as vainglory in a minister.

4. Custom and education.

5. Company example.

( T. Manton, D.D.)
