Sin is that which has defiled God’s work, God’s image, in man and woman.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Do you say, “Have you never sinned?” Alas, I have. Sinned so deeply that none of you will ever know, thank God. But thank God still more, when Jesus Christ was nailed to yonder Cross of Calvary, all my sins were settled.
—R. A. Torrey
Thank God, I can proclaim the good news that Christ can deliver us from all our sins, and I don’t care if you are bound hand and foot with sin, if you only come to him, he will save you.
—D. L. Moody
There is not one that is troubled with any sin but that he can find a Deliverer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
—D. L. Moody
Sin is that which makes the devil rejoice.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
I don’t object to seeing men weep over their sins. I don’t know why it is not manly for a man to weep over his sins. It is more manly than to trifle with salvation, and make light of serious things. A great many men seem to be ashamed to shed tears over their sins.
—D. L. Moody
The voice of sin may be loud, but the voice of forgiveness is louder.
—D. L. Moody
Men may think God is winking at sin now-a-days, and isn’t going to punish sin, because He does not execute His judgments speedily, but “be not deceived, God is not mocked.”
—D. L. Moody
There are more people ruined by flattery than by telling them their faults. The Holy Ghost never flatters, but convicts us of sin, and that is the reason many don’t like Him.
—D. L. Moody
Sin not only defiles God’s work; it is also insulting to God.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
See that you build upon nothing below Christ! See that you have a real interest in Christ. See that you die daily to sin, to the world, and to your own righteousness.
Thomas Brooks
Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent and self-sustained.
Augustine
A sincere heart dares not sin because of the eye and fear of God that is on him; so you find it in Job 31:1 & 4. He dared not allow his thoughts to sin because he lived under the awe of God’s eye.
—John Flavel
To sin is a human affair, but to justify sins is a demonic affair.
—Leo Tolstoy
Thus Dr. Scofield’s view of the Mosaic Law is rooted in a wrong view of sin.
—J. Gresham Machen
You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.
—Oscar Wilde
“How gloriously has Christ rolled away the great load of human sin, adequately recompensed the claims of divine justice, and magnified the law, and made it honourable!”
Persons who hold the same view of sin and retribution that Jesus held, to such persons alone, the beauty of Jesus is without flaw.
—J. Gresham Machen
We by our sin have exposed ourselves to wrath, to a vindictive justice; but God has done very great things that we might be saved from that wrath
—Jonathan Edwards
The knowledge of him as a God in Christ pardoning sin and saving sinners is attainable by the gospel only.
—John Owen
Sin so hardens and dulls the soul that it appears unsupportive of the plainest reason and clearest light and unmoved by things of the greatest and most immediate concern.
—Jonathan Edwards
I know many of my acquaintance, who love to hear me talk and preach, and who receive me gladly into their houses; but alas! I fear they are self-righteous, and were never yet truly convinced of sin.
—George Whitefield
God hath set him forth to declare his righteousness for the forgiveness of sin; he hath made way in him for ever to exalt the glory of his pardoning mercy to sinners.
—John Owen
Through Christ, come to God the Father, from whom you have departed by sin.
—Jonathan Edwards
He takes away the guilt of sin, from which the soul before saw no way how it was possible to be freed, and which, if it was not removed, led to eternal destruction.
—Jonathan Edwards
Nothing more habitually reconciles a child of God to the thought of death than the wearisomeness of…warfare with sin and temptation.
—John Newton
The glory and honor of God requires that sometimes there should be tokens of his displeasure against the sins of men here in this world.
—Jonathan Edwards
If anything in the world could have been a temptation to God to dispense with justice, it would have been the infinite dearness of his own Son. But when he took our sins, God poured out his wrath upon him.
—Jonathan Edwards
That such a person who was divine and so dear to the Father should suffer at all would have been a wonderful testimony of God’s hatred of sin. But specially it was so when Christ suffered so much.
—Jonathan Edwards
Sin cannot be hated for itself, till we have seen the malignity of it in Christ’s sufferings.
—John Newton
