Sin is an awful thing. It leads to the lake of fire, which is the only place where it can harm and spread no more. It is the workings of the will of man in opposition to the will of God. Men active in sin instinctively turn from the Scriptures, for they are the revealed will of God. If they have some selfish interest in connection with the Scriptures, and cannot therefore utterly ignore or deny them, they twist and turn them to their own liking.
The man who truly hates sin in his own self, loves the Scriptures. There alone does he and can he find what his sin-sick soul needs.
Blessed Lord, deepen in us all the spirit of self-abhorrence, and of confidence in Thee.
