Quote 3507

Indeed there is no little sin because there is no little God to sin against.

A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, 5:500

John Trapp

That is why the unregenerate person cannot understand the urgency of the gospel message: until they see the depth of their sin and the holiness of God, they find no reason to seek remedy for their condition.

James White

When I turn to the map of the world I must say the same thing. It matters not what quarter I examine: I find men's hearts are everywhere the same, and everywhere wicked. Sin is the family disease of all the children of Adam.

Old Paths, Ch 7

J.C. Ryle

You can never part with sin soon enough; it is a cursed inmate, that will surely bring mischief upon the soul that harbours it. It will set its own dwelling on fire.

Works 7:147

Thomas Manton

Guilt and pain are gifts of God to warn us that the pleasures of sin are suicidal. Though they may feel good in the moment.

SermonNov122000

The death of God's Son is a greater proof to God's abhorrence of sin than if all humanity had been damned for it forever.

At the heart of all sin is a lie. The lie says to all of us in our sin, "The act you are now doing, the desire or attitude you are now feeling is not very bad because there are much worse things, not very bad because everyone else experiences the same things, not very bad because you can't help it, not very bad because there is no God, or, if that won't work, God knows you are but frail and weak and he will tolerate and pity your sin." There are a thousand distortions of the truth which sin brings with it into the human heart, so that Jeremiah cries out, "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately corrupt; who can understand it?" (17:9).

When my thirst for joy and meaning and passion are satisfied by the presence and promises of Christ, the power of sin is broken.

Future Grace (335)

A sheep may fall into a ditch, but it is the swine that wallows in it.

If anyone would feel the greatness of sin he would not be able to go on living another moment; so great is the power of sin.

Martin Luther

We don't know how much we've sinned in the same way a fish doesn't know how wet it is.

Sermon: The Greatest Words in All of Scripture

Paul Washer

He who is his own teacher, is sure to have a fool for his master!

Pride Self-Reliance

Sin may be comprehensively defined as lack of conformity to the law of God in act, habit, attitude, outlook, disposition, motivation, and mode of existence.

Concise Theology, Section 31

J.I. Packer

When a man truly sees himself, he knows nobody can say anything about him that is too bad.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Am I saying that a Christian is without sin? No, because in 1 John we learn that Christians do sin and if any man does not acknowledge his sin he knows not God. He's not walking in the light. So what is the difference? What am I really getting at? What I am getting at is this: If you are a genuinely born again Christian a child of God. You will walk in the way of righteousness as a style of life, and if you step of that path of righteousness the father will come for you. he will discipline you . he will put you back on that path. But if you profess to have gone though the narrow gate, and yet you live in the broad way. Just like all the other people in your highschool just like all the other people who are carnal and wicked. The Bible wants you to know that you should be terribly terribly afraid. You know not God.

Sermon:Shocking Youth Message

Paul Washer

How monstrous a thing is rebellion! How direful a doom is prepared for the ungodly! My soul, never laugh at sin's fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself. It is thine enemy, and thy Lord's enemy. View it with detestation

Charles Spurgeon

Temptation is never stronger than when relief seems to dress itself in the very sin that Satan is suggesting.

Christian in Complete Armour, 1:84

Temptation Sin

[Sin] cannot be killed without a sense of pain and trouble. Hence it is compared to the cutting off of right hands, and the plucking out of right eyes.

John Owen

What lust is so valuable that it is worth burning in hell for?

Lust Hell

If you allow your love of creature comforts — or even your pleasure in family and loved ones — to outrun your love for the Lord, you cannot be a victorious soldier for Christ.

The Christian in Complete Armour, 1:72

Worldliness Comfort

The layman has a large field in which he may minister to his fellow man, even if he is not called to full time ministry.

Christian in Complete Armour 1:300

Lay Ministry

The fallen condition of all humankind in Adam is not the result of mere social conditioning but is such "by nature" (φύσει, physei)

Ephesians, Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2015), 152.

S. M. Baugh

Sin before a holy God is the willing fruit of a fallen heart

Ephesians, Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2015), 152.

S. M. Baugh

There is no thought, no word, no act, and no area of human life that is not affected by sin.
