Saturday, 1 August , 1741. Good Works

Saturday, August 1. I had a long conversation with Mr. Ingham. We both agreed that none shall finally be saved who have not, as they had opportunity, done all good works; and that if a justified person does not do good as he has opportunity, he will lose the grace he has received, and if he ‘repent’ not ‘and do the former works’,will perish eternally. But with regard to the unjustified (if I understand him), we wholly disagreed. He believed it is not the will of God that they should wait for faith in doing good. I believe this is the will of God, and that they will never find him unless they seek him in this way.
