Directions For Hating Sin

Either you would live in heaven, or not. If not, you are not those I speak to. If you would, you know that there is no sinning; no worldly mind, no pride, no fleshly lust or pleasures there. Oh, did you but see and hear one hour—how those blessed spirits are taken up in loving and magnifying the glorious God in purity and holiness, and how far they are from sin—it would make you loathe sin ever after, and look on sinners as insane men wallowing naked in their dung. Especially, to think that you hope yourselves to live forever like those holy spirits; and therefore hate all sin. - Text compiled by Grace Gems
