Matthew 19:16-22

1. We see from the case of this young man, that a person may have desires for salvation, and yet not be saved.
2. We see from this young man's case, that an unconverted person is often profoundly ignorant on spiritual subjects.
3. We see from this young man's case, that one idol cherished in the heart may ruin a soul forever.

"Not only are good feelings alone not grace, but they are even decidedly dangerous, if we content ourselves with them, and do not act as well as feel."
