Part 132

11. Let them _turn_ every one from his evil way. Cease to do evil. Learn to do well. And see that this reformation be _universal_: for there is no serving God by halves. Avoid _all_ evil, and do _all_ good unto _all_ men; else you only deceive your own soul. See also, that it be from the _heart_: lay the axe to the root of the tree. Cut up, by the grace of God, evil desire, pride, anger, unbelief. Let this be your continual prayer to God, the prayer of your heart, (as well as lips) “Lord, I _would_ believe: help thou mine unbelief! Give me the faith that worketh by love. _The life which I now live_, let me _live by faith in the Son of God_. Let me _so believe_, that I may _love thee, with all my heart, and mind, and soul, and strength_! and that I may love every child of man, even _as thou hast loved us_! Let me daily _add to my faith courage, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, charity: that so an entrance may be ministered to me abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ_.”
