Sin pulls a man down into despondency and despair.

Sin carries in it its own misery.

Sin is very important to the soul because sin is what disintegrates the soul; it's what attacks the soul. Sin kind of is to the soul what cancer is to the body.

One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.

You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.

There is no injustice in the grace of God. God is as just when He forgives a believer as when He casts a sinner into hell.

I do think that a minister who can preach a sermon without addressing sinners does not know how to preach.

According to the Burman system, there is no escape. According to the Christian system, there is. Jesus Christ has died in the place of sinners, has borne their sins; and now those who believe on Him, and become His disciples, are released from the punishment they deserve. At death, they are received into Heaven and are happy forever.

Such sins, even if they do not kill all grace in us, do harm, nevertheless; and though they are only venial in themselves, they make us apt, ready, and inclined to lose grace and to fall into mortal sin.

What the new mate, sports car, or unexpected check could never do, Christ says, "I Can." You'll love how he achieves it. He reconnects your soul with God.

Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift.

Grace cannot be confused with righteousness. Grace is receiving what we do not deserve; mercy is not receiving what we do deserve. Righteousness, on the other hand, includes what most of us would consider difficult matters, such as punishment, correction and judgment. It also includes what most of us would consider positive matters, such as the fruit of the Spirit.
