Want of understanding has destroyed many. The best place go get understanding is the sanctuary of God. Until he went there David was in a mist, but in the sanctuary he was as on a mountain summit with the clouds far beneath his feet. For there he had communion with God, and heard the law of God, and so understood the end of the wicked. Let us then try to —

I. UNDERSTAND THE SINNER'S END.

1. Like all else, there is death, but what a death is his.

2. It is the death of all in which he took delight.

3. It brings him to the bar of God.

4. He is sent be everlasting hell. Now, all this is certain; and often sudden; and how terrible; and it is endless.

II. SEEK TO PROFIT BY IT.

1. How grateful should we be if we are saved.

2. Let us make our calling and election sure.

3. Be earnest about the salvation of others.

III. WARN THE UNREPENTANT. You are slipping down to perdition.

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
