A sin...consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God
J. C. RyleWrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.
J. C. RyleIf we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.
