Everyone desires to be saved from the pit

Everyone desires to be saved from the pit

(Spurgeon, "Our Watchword" #1013, Psalm 70:4)

The unsaved sinner loves a salvation from hell.

The true Christian loves a salvation from sin.

Everyone desires to be saved from the pit,
but it is only a child of God who pants to be
saved from every false way.

We love the Gospel because it saves us . . .
from selfishness,
from pride,
from lust,
from worldliness,
from bitterness,
from malice, and
from sloth.
