Scripture Warnings
Psalm 19:11
Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.


We are not to confuse the imperfections of religious professors with the unchangeable sovereignty of the Divine laws.

I. CALL ATTENTION TO SOME OF THEM THUS CONNECTED WITH OUR OWN HISTORY, and the warnings they give.

1. Those which relate to the heart of man. We are told its deceitful character.

2. Examples in human character. They, as well as the words of Scripture, warn us against sin.

3. Those that come from the truth of eternity and of judgment to come.

II. THE REWARD OF OBEDIENCE.

1. It is present in the conscience; and

2. Prospective, in heaven.

3. And it is great in comparison with our deserts.

4. And in obedience itself there is great reward.

(W. D. Horwood.)
