Is man so great?

7. Trust God’s all-sufficiency and don’t be afraid to profess the truth. Remember the Lord Jesus who professed before Pontius Pilate (1 Timothy 6v13, John 18v37)

If thou believe not that Christ can secure thee from the rage of man, thou believest not indeed in Christ. If thou believe not that heaven will satisfy for all that by scorns or cruelties thou sufferest from sinners, thou hast not indeed the hope of a believer…But if thou believe that God is God, and Christ is Christ, and heaven is heaven, and the gospel is true, thou hast enough in thy belief to secure against all the scorns and cruelties of man, and to tell thee that Christ will bear thy charges in all that thou sufferest for his sake.
