Troubled for sin – Thomas Brooks
A hypocrite may be troubled for sinas it . . .
blots his name, and
wounds his conscience, and
brings a scourge, and
destroys his soul, and
shuts him out of heaven, and
throws him to hell.
But he is never troubled for sin, he never mourns for sin, he never hates sin because it is contrary to the nature of God, the being of God, the law of God, the glory of God, the design of God; or because of the evil that is in the nature of sin, or because of the defiling and polluting power of sin.
