Terror: of Convicted Consciences

Spurgeon's Illustration Collection

　　On and say nothing; lest a word, a breath,

　　Bring down the winter's snow, enough to whelm

　　An army.'

　　Thus when alarmed by an awakened conscience men walk in fear from hour to hour, trembling lest a thought or word of sin should bring down upon them the impending wrath of God. Thrice happy is he who has traversed that awful gap of terror and now breathes freely because sin is pardoned, and therefore every apprehension is removed.
