God or sin must die in me. The one elementary Bible truth we are in danger of forgetting is that the Gospel of God is addressed to men as sinners, and nothing else.

Sin – Temptation

The battle between sin and forgiveness – Charles Spurgeon
You cannot sin so much as God can forgive. If it comes to a pitched battle between sin and grace, you shall not be so bad as God shall be good. I will prove it to you. You can only sin as a man, but God can forgive as a God. You sin as a finite creature, but the Lord forgives as the infinite Creator.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from the sermon “The Exceeding Riches of His Grace,” on Ephesians 2:7
Clear the Decks – Ian Thomas
Christ did not die simply that you might be saved from a bad conscience, or even to remove the stain of past failure, but to “clear the decks” for divine action.
– Ian Thomas –
Carnal Christianity – Leonard Ravenhill
Get rid of this bunkum about the “carnal Christian”. Forget it! If you’re carnal, you’re not saved.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
It is sin for you – Susanna Wesley
Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish for spiritual things then it is sin for you, however, innocent it may be in itself.
– Susanna Wesley –
A deadly opiate for the conscience – AW Tozer
The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.
– AW Tozer –
Truth and Sin – Oswald Chambers
It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God’s truth and remain in sin.
– Oswald Chambers –
True Grace – Randy Alcorn
Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God’s grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.
