Many men & women who are troubled for their sin think God will be satisfied by their mourning. But mourning your heart out for 1,000 years will never satisfy the justice of God. Mourning will come to nothing, unless it leads
you to Jesus Christ for satisfaction of God’s justice.

Since I came to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ, the great mystery of godliness in His Son, and the dealings of the Father with the Son, the Lord knows now that I abhor sin in secret more than I abhor hell itself.

When the creamy, choice thoughts of men and women are busied about earthly things, they mind earthly things in a sinful manner.

Let us take care that we do not cross the mind of the Spirit, by dwelling on the greatness of our sins, instead of the infiniteness of God’s grace.
—Jeremiah Burroughs
Christian contentment is opposed to sinful shifting and shirkings to get relief and help.
