Genesis 3:9-12 And the LORD God called to Adam, and said to him, Where are you? 1. The Christian ought always to be at his proper and assigned work. God fails not to mark every dereliction, to note every hour, every gift and power not given to the work of salvation. 2. The Christian ought ever to be in his proper place. He has his own place in the family circle, in the Church of Christ, in every sphere of Christian duty and enterprise, and in the world of guilt, misery, and ignorance around him. 3. The Christian ought ever to be in a state of mind to seek the Divine blessing. Sin cherished, Or duty neglected, not only loses us the favour of God, but what is, if possible, worse still, robs us of the disposition to desire or seek it. 4. The Christian ought ever to be where he can meet God in judgment without fear. I. THE SINNER. 1. In his sins. 2. In the pathway of eternal ruin. 3. In a state of awful condemnation. 4. In a land of darkness and gloom. 5. Ever under God's immediate eye. 6. In the hands of an angry God. (W. B. Sprague, D. D.)
