The Christian has a universal willingness to be rid of all sin. The enmity which grace works in the heart, is against all sin: profitable sins, pleasurable sins, disparaging sins, disgracing sins, small sins, great sins. A gracious heart had much rather, if it were put to his choice, live without all sin—than to have allowance to wallow in any sin. He had rather live without the least sin—than to have liberty to live in the most flesh-pleasing sin. It is certain that sin is more afflictive to a gracious soul, than all the losses, crosses, troubles, and trials that he meets with in the world. I hate every false way. - Psalm 139:24 Saving grace makes a man as willing to leave his lusts, as a slave is willing to leave his chains, or a prisoner his dungeon, or a beggar his rags. A sincere heart had much rather be rid of his sins than of his sufferings; yes, of the least sins than of the greatest sufferings. ~ Thomas Brooks #Christian #Christianity #Jesus #Christ #JesusChrist #faith #heart #gracious #believer #Bible #BibleVerse #HolyBible #sin #verse #quote #Truth #Gospel #followJesus #quotes #today #ThomasBrooks #Christians #psalm #WordOfGod #afternoon #grace #savinggrace #devotional #God #amen
