A State of Enchantment

But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfill. Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus - Acts 3:18-20

The sleep of death

”While Satan holds them in his chains, they are sleeping the sleep of death. O for a word of sovereign and Almighty grace to reach the centre of their spirits ! To shake all the powers of their nature! To awaken them to behold their eternal interest! and to prepare for heavenly felicity. Awake, O sleepers, ere the angel of death seize you, and the grave shut its mouth upon you; then all your seasons and hopes of mercy are cut off for ever, and you will awake hopeless immortals.” - Isaac Watts

The wilderness we can't see

”What a poor, uncertain and dying world is this! What a wilderness in itself! Without the saving knowledge of Jesus—how dark, how desolate it is! It does not appear to us thus, before we were saved—because we were then in a state of enchantment, the magical lantern blinding us with a splendid delusion! - John Newton
