C.H. Spurgeon – All of Grace

Chapter Six
Concerning Deliverance From Sinning
In this place I would say a plain word or two to those
who understand the method of justification by faith which is
in Christ Jesus, but whose trouble is that they cannot cease
from sin. We can never be happy, restful, or spiritually
healthy till we become holy. We must be rid of sin; but how is
the riddance to be wrought? This is the life-or-death question
of many. The old nature is very strong, and they have tried to
curb and tame it; but it will not be subdued, and they find
themselves, though anxious to be better, if anything growing
worse than before. The heart is so hard, the will is so
obstinate, the passions are so furious, the thoughts are so
volatile, the imagination is so ungovernable, the desires are so
wild, that the man feels that he has a den of wild beasts
within him, which will eat him up sooner than be ruled by
him. We may say of our fallen nature what the Lord said to
Job concerning Leviathan: “Wilt thou play with him as with a
bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?” A man might
as well hope to hold the north wind in the hollow of his hand
as expect to control by his own strength those boisterous
powers which dwell within his fallen nature. This is a greater
feat than any of the fabled labors of Hercules: God is wanted
here.
