The devil’s logic – Thomas Brooks

“What should we say then? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may multiply? Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?” Romans 6:1-2

Certainly to argue from gospel mercy to sinful liberty, is the devil’s logic. The more a man lives in the sight of gospel grace, the more sin will be discountenanced, resisted, hated, and displaced. A man may as truly assert that water burns, or that fire cools, or that the sun darkens the air as he may assert that the sight, sense, or sweet of gospel grace will breed carnality, looseness or wickedness, in a gracious heart.
