Sin is Abominable – JC Ryle
Nevertheless settle it firmly in our minds that sin is “the abominable thing that God hateth” that God “is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity, and cannot look upon that which is evil.” That the least transgression of God’s law makes us “guilty of all” that “the soul that sinneth shall surely die” that “the wages of sin is death” that God shall “judge the secrets of men” that there is a worm that never dies, and a fire that is not quenched. That “the wicked shall be turned into hell” and “shall go away into everlasting punishment” and that “nothing that defiles shall in any wise enter heaven.”
