| The golden bait
(Thomas Watson, "The Godly Man's
Picture Drawn with a Scripture Pencil)
Gain is the golden bait, with which Satan fishes
for souls! This was the last temptation he used
with Christ: "All these things will I give you!" But
Christ saw the hook under the bait! Many who have
escaped gross sins, are still caught in a golden net!
A godly man dare not travel for riches, along the
devil's highway. Those are sad gains, which make
a man lose heaven at last!
"What good will it be for a man if he gains the
whole world, yet forfeits his soul?" Mat. 16:26
