The Gospel for Life

By conflict I mean a struggle within the heart between the old nature and the new, the flesh and the spirit, which are to be found together in every believer. ( Gal. 5:17 .) A deep sense of that struggle, and a vast amount of mental discomfort from it, are no proof that a man is not sanctified. Nay, rather, I believe, they are healthy symptoms of our condition, and prove that we are not dead, but...

Like the Great Head of the Church, from whom it springs, it “cannot be hid.” “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” ( Luke 6:44 .) A truly sanctified person may be so clothed with humility, that he can see in himself nothing but infirmity and defects. Like Moses, when he came down from the Mount, he may not be conscious that his face shines. Like the righteous, in the mighty parable of the sheep...

Concerning the guilt, vileness, and offensiveness of sin ▪ Mortal man can realize the exceeding sinfulness of sin in the sight of God – the holy and perfect One. ▪ Sin is an abominable thing that God hates; He is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity and cannot look upon that which is evil ▪ No proof of the fullness of sin, is so overwhelming and unanswerable as the cross and passion of our Lord J...

The deceitfulness of sin ▪ You may see this deceitfulness in the wonderful proneness of men to regard sin as less sinful and dangerous than it is in the sight of God; and in their readiness to extenuate it, make excuses for it, and minimize its guilt. ▪ We often use language and try and convince ourselves into the belief that sin is not quite so sinful as God says it is, and they are not so bad as...

Ryle starts by stating that “the plain truth is that a right knowledge of sin lies at the root of all saving Christianity.  Without it such doctrines as justification, conversion, sanctification, are ‘words and names’ that convey no meaning to the mind. The first thing, therefore, that God does when He makes anyone a new creature in Christ is to send light into his heart and show him that he is a...
