Sin, Destroying Power of – Charles Spurgeon

YOU have heard of the Spartan youth who concealed a stolen fox under his garment, and although it was eating into his affections, he would not show it, and therefore died through the creature’s bites; you are of that sort, sinner, you are carrying sin in your bosom, and it is eating out your heart. God knows what it is, and you know what it is; now you cannot keep it there and be unbitten, undestroyed. Why keep it there? Oh cry to God with a vehement cry, God save me from my sin! Oh bring me, even me, to the foot of your Son’s cross, and forgive me, and then crucify my sin, for I see clearly now that sin must perish or I must.
