If you have never become a lost sinner before the holy God, you have never stood in dire need of Christ. Good intentions Thirdly, many rely on good intentions for their eternal destiny. Some day they hope to reform their lives, to earnestly seek after God, and to join the church. They aim for future faith and repentance. Future faith is simply today's unbelief.
Future faith is a self-flattering glissade that slopes straight into hell.
Numerous self-flatterers rely on a great variety of providential circumstances. Some build upon being members of a conservative, Bible-believing church. Others build their hopes on God's goodness to them in their business. Still others think that it is a good sign that they have not been prosperous or that the Lord has sent many afflictions their way. All of these forms of reasoning and feelings are most dangerous for our souls.
