I. MAN'S CHARACTER IS NOT NATURALLY CHRISTIAN. Evident from —

1. Consciousness.

2. Observation.

3. Scripture.

II. TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE MAN'S SUPREME AIM: because —

1. It is God's will.

2. Man's privilege and necessity. Only thus can he realise the true end of his being and reach heaven.

III. MAN MAY ALMOST BECOME YET STILL FALL SHORT OF BEING A CHRISTIAN.

IV. FOR THE NON-POSSESSION OF THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER MAN WILL BE CULPABLE.

(W. Johnson.)
