Work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do
of His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-13)
I have very little sympathy with
any man who has been redeemed by the precious blood of the Son of God, and who
has not got the spirit of work. If we are children of God we ought not to have
a lazy drop of blood in our veins. If a man tells me that he has been saved,
and does not desire to work for the honor of God, I doubt his salvation.
Laziness belongs to the old
creation, not to the new. In all my experience I never knew a lazy man to be
converted—never. I have more hope for the salvation of drunkards, and thieves, and
harlots than of a lazy man.
