It is not
sufficient that we acknowledge sin in its various forms
to be evil, and that we resolve that we will strive
against it, because it is under the Lord’s ban. In
addition to this we are to root out of our hearts every
longing, every desire for everything not
thoroughly approved by the Lord. Oh, what a cleansing this would
mean in the hearts and lives, and especially in the thoughts
of many who have named the name of Christ! Many who fail
to note this point find themselves continually beset by
temptations, because, while outwardly avoiding gross
immoralities, they secretly harbor sympathies for things
condemned, desiring that they might have them, if only
they were not forbidden. |
