Sin (Attitude Towards)

When a man is savingly changed, he is deeply convinced not only of the danger but the defilement of sin. [ASGTH]

The true penitent flies from sin as Moses did from the serpent. [TDOR]

He that hides one rebel in his house is a traitor to the Crown, and he that indulges one sin is a traitorous hypocrite.  [TDOR]

The more bitterness we taste in sin, the more sweetness we shall taste in Christ.  [TDOR]

Loving of sin is worse than committing it. [TDOR]

Christ is never loved till sin be loathed. [TDOR]

Do we know how our sins provoke God? How they grieve the Holy Ghost? How they weaken our graces? How they spoil our prayers? How they weaken faith? How they tempt Christ to be ashamed of us? And how they hold back good from us? And if we know not every one of these things to the full, how shall we know to the full the love of Christ which saveth us from them all?. [ALE]

The Christian has arrived at a sufficient measure of sorrow when the love of sin is purged out. [TDOR]

We must find as much bitterness in weeping for sin as ever we found sweetness in committing it. [TDOR]

Cursed is the person who encourages you to come to Christ and allows you to think that you can still indulge one sin in your life. [TGOC]
