“The nature of Christ’s salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.” – A.W. Pink
Unbelief wants to be saved from the consequences of sin without being parted from the presence of sin. It wants to lay with sin without bearing any of its children. It wants the fruit of faithfulness without the works of faithfulness. It wants blessings without labor. It wants to stay up late and to get a good night’s sleep. It wants to eat junk and lose weight. It wants the thrill of cheating and the privileges of loyalty. It wants the wages of death with the paycheck of life. It wants the wild bender of the prodigal without the pig pen. It is, in short, insanity. It is incoherence incarnate. And anything that can’t go on forever, praise God, won’t.
