Your word is a lamp to my feet

page 3-4 from Pilgrim's Progress

“Sir, I perceive by The Book in my hand, that I am condemned to die and after that to come to judgement; and I find that I am not willing to do the first nor able to do the second”

Hebrews 9:26-27

"Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment"

Job 16:20-22

"My intercessor is my friend
as my eyes pour out tears to God;
on behalf of a man he pleads with God
as a man pleads for his friend.
"Only a few years will pass
before I go on the journey of no return."

Ezekiel 22:14

Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you?

From page 3 of Pilgrim’s Progress
“Why not be willing to die, said the Evangelist, since this life is attended with wo many evil?
Because, said Christian I fear that this Guilt/Burden that is upon my back, will sink me lower than the grave and I shall fall to Topheth (hell).

Isaiah 30:33

" Topheth has long been prepared;
it has been made ready for the king.
Its fire pit has been made deep and wide,
with an abundance of fire and wood;
the breath of the LORD,
like a stream of burning sulfur,
sets it ablaze."

Pilgrim's Progress pg. 4

“And, Sir if I be not fit to go to prison, I am not fit to go to Judgment, and from thence to Execution; and the thoughts of these things makes we cry.”

Then said Evangelist, “If this be thy condition, why standest thou still?"

“Because I know not whither to go.”

Then he gave him a Parchment Roll, and there was written to within Fly from the Wrath to come.

Matthew 3:7

"But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?"

Said Evangelist, “See the very wide field, do you see yonder the wide gate?"

Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Said Evangelist, “Do you see yonder Shining Light?”

Christian said, “I think I do.

Evangelist said, “Keep that Light in you eye and go up directly thereto, so shalt thou see the Narrow Gate; at which, when thou knockest it shall be told to thee what thou shalt do.”

Psalm 119:105

"Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path."

II Peter 1:19

“And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”
