Hatred Of Sin As Sin, Not Only

There Wanted Not Some Beams Of Light To Guide Men In The Exercise Of Their Stocastick Faculty.

Let, Then, The Word Be Preached, And The Sins Of Men Will Be Rebuked, Lust Will Be Restrained, And Some Oppositions Will Be Made Against Sin, Though That Be Not The Effect Aimed At.

All Spiritual Acts Well-pleasing Unto God, As Faith, Repentance, Obedience, Are Supernatural; Flesh And Blood Revealeth Not These Things.

All Attempts, Then, For Mortification Of Any Lust, Without An Interest In Christ, Are Vain.

Sin Also Carries On Its War By Entangling The Affections And Drawing Them Into An Alliance Against The Mind. Grace May Be Enthroned In The Mind, But If Sin Controls The Affections, It Has Seized A Fort From Which It Will Continually Assault The Soul. Hence, As We Shall See, Mortification Is Chiefly Directed To Take Place Upon The Affections.
