A Principle of Grace in the Heart, A Good Thing Always Tending Towards the Lord God

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of a principle of grace within the heart of every regenerate person, described as 'some good thing towards the Lord God of Israel.' It emphasizes that this good thing is an internal work of the Holy Spirit, manifesting in various graces such as faith, hope, love, repentance, and fear of God, though imperfect and incomplete in this life. The preacher illustrates that this grace can be found even in unlikely individuals, including those from sinful families, and that it is always directed towards God. Ultimately, this good thing will be revealed and perfected at the final judgment.
