I'm not sure where the old thread went, but I want to ask a question regarding this passage: Quote:
Many accept an intellectual religion, a form of godliness, when the heart is not cleansed. Let it be your prayer, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10. Deal truly with your own soul. Be as earnest, as persistent, as you would be if your mortal life were at stake. This is a matter to be settled between God and your own soul, settled for eternity. A supposed hope, and nothing more, will prove your ruin.
What is she saying when she says "a supposed hope...will prove your ruin"?

I think she is saying "If your religion is merely intellectual, and not heart felt, you are deluding yourself”.
