THE PRINCIPLE WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP. — Sanctification (Hebrews 10:22). Sanctification of heart is necessary if you consider — 1. The character of God who is worshipped (Isaiah 6:1-5). 2. The nature of the worship required. 3. The design of all religious worship. (1) To glorify God. (2) To promote our increasing likeness to God. II. THE ASSERTION THAT IN MANY THIS PRINCIPLE WAS WANTING. This charge is — 1. Comprehensive. 2. Tremendously awful.Connect it with the declaration of the Saviour, "If I wash thee not thou hast no part with Me." (Essex Congregational Remembrancer.)
