We cannot exaggerate the heinousness of sin. Grace can forgive the worst of sinners; but never let us allow any thought of sin, except that it is most hateful to God. To have the strongest sense of sin, is in no way incompatible with the utmost pity for, and interest in, him who is deceived and guilty and condemned. On the contrary it is as much a Christian's duty to abhor that which is evil, as to love that which is good. So true is this, that the man who does not abhor evil, can never be justly thought to have real love in his heart for what is good; because it is always in proportion to moral power that one hates the false and evil, and loves the true and good.
