The Righteous Holding on His Way
Job 17:9
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.


I remind you that while final perseverance is necessary, it is extremely difficult. The way itself renders if so. The way to heaven is no smooth-shaven lawn.

1. It is a rough road, up hill, down dale, across rivers, and over mountains.

2. Moreover, the road is long. It is a life-long road.

3. Besides that, the road is so contrary to fallen nature. It is a way of faith.

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
