When You Sin Against Yourself- St. John Chrysostom (Responses of St. John Chrysostom)

When you sin against yourself, you will not be able to beg God for your salvation.

Nor will anyone else be able to beg God for you even if he has the boldness Moses had before God.

Listen to what God said to the Prophet Jeremiah concerning the Judeans:

“Do not pray for this people for I shall not listen.” And

“Even if Moses and Samuel shall stand before My face, my soul shall not be in their favor.”
