Isaiah 65:11,12

These verses contain an awful confirmation of what every day's experience continues to prove, that all are not Israel, which are of Israel, Romans 9:6. In every Church, under every ordinance, the same word, the same gospel, how often is it found, that what becomes to some the savour of life unto life, to others, becomes the savour of death unto death! what quickens some, kills others! Hence the Apostle declares himself and his few faithful companions to be in one and the same moment a savour of death and of life. Solemn consideration! Reader! what know you of this immense difference? See Acts 28:23; 2 Corinthians 2:15.
