Jeremiah 6:16a NKJV
"Stand in the ways and see,
And ask for the old paths, where the good way is."
“A man may be sensible of his condition and sincerely desire mercy, and yet not be able to come to God by Christ. The man that comes to God by Christ must first have the knowledge of Him: “For he that cometh to God must believe that He is” (Heb 11:6). So he that comes to God through Christ must be enables to know Christ. “I pray thee,” says Moses, “show me now thy ways, that I may know thee” (Exo 33:13). This Christ, none but the Father can reveal (Mat 11:27). And to come through Christ is for the sinner to be enables of God to hide himself under a thing for safeguard (Mat 16:16).”
