I

Abraham offered up Isaac—what have you offered up? Job offered up everything—what have you offered up? So many people have sacrificed themselves, laying down their lives and shedding blood, in order to seek the true way. Have you paid that price? By comparison, you are not at all qualified to enjoy such great grace. Don't regard yourselves too highly. You have nothing to brag about. Such great salvation, such great grace is given to you freely. You have not offered up anything, yet you enjoy grace freely. Do you not feel ashamed?

II

Is this true way something you sought out and found by yourselves? Was it not the Holy Spirit that compelled you to accept it? You have never had hearts of seeking, much less hearts that seek and long for the truth. You have just been sitting back and enjoying it; you have gained this truth without expending the least effort. What right do you have to complain? Do you think you are of the greatest worth? Compared to those who offered up their whole lives and spilled their blood, what do you have to complain about? You have no option other than to submit and follow. You simply are not worthy!
