Sin (Conviction of)
It is spiritual madness, it is the devil’s logic to argue thus: My sins are great, therefore I will not go to Christ, I dare not rest nor lean on Christ. The soul should reason thus: The greater my sins are, the more I stand in need of mercy, of pardon, and therefore I will go to Christ, who delights in mercy, who pardons sin for his own name’s sake, who is as able and willing to forgive pounds as pence. (Micah 7:18; Isa. 43:25). [PRASD]
