I. A MAN SORELY TEMPTED TO CHOOSE THE WORLD.

1. Consider the strong reasons which would urge him to this.

2. Consider the fact which would appeal to him against these.

3. Consider the battle which thus raged within him.

II. THIS TEMPTATION VANQUISHED BY FAITH

1. Faith in God, the God of his fathers.

2. Faith in the Deliverer from sin.

3. Faith in the glorious future of God's people.

III. THIS FAITH ABUNDANTLY JUSTIFIED IN THE SEQUEL. Think of the blessings that come from choosing God before the world —

1. A good conscience, and this opens the way for satisfying communion with God.

2. Moreover, the character of God is the pledge that none can lose by fidelity to righteousness.

3. And God has promised eternal reward to the conqueror.

(C. New.)
