line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a
little:

precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and
fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death,
and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing
scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we
have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid
ourselves:
Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD,
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a
precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth
shall not make haste.
God’s elect enter this world in precisely the same
condition and circumstances as do the non-elect. They are “by
nature the children of wrath, even as others” (Ephesians 2:3),
that is, they are under the condemnation of their original sin in
Adam (Romans 5:12, 18, 19) and they are under the curse of God’s
Law because of their own constant transgressions of it (Galatians
3:10). The sword of divine justice is suspended over their heads,
and the Scriptures denounce them as rebels against the Most High. As
yet, there is nothing whatever to distinguish them from those who
are “fitted to destruction.” Their state is woeful to the last
degree, their situation perilous beyond words; and when the Holy
Spirit awakens them from the sleep of death, the first message which
falls upon their ears is, “Flee from the wrath to come.” But how
and whither, they, as yet, know not. Then it is they are ready for
the message of the Gospel. ~ A. W. Pink, Doctrine of
Justification
Repent ye therefore and be converted, repent, and
believe the gospel.
1Th 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without
ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of
us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the
word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
