Sin Quotes
-
We are not forgiven because we are good. We are forgiven because Christ bore our sins.
Joseph Prince
-
God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards.
Francis Chan
-
And when I hear it said that God is good and He will pardon us, and then see that men cease not from evil-doing, oh, how it grieves me! The infinite goodness with which God communicates with us, sinners as we are, should constantly make us love and serve Him better; but we, on the contrary, instead of seeing in his goodness an obligation to please Him, convert it into an excuse for sin which will of a certainty lead in the end to our deeper condemnation.
Catherine of Genoa
-
If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it. No man is compelled to evil: his consent only makes it his. It is no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome.
William Penn
-
Besides the guilt of sin and the power of sin, there is the stain of sin.
Nathaniel Culverwell
-
America was the worst place in the world in which to fail, fall sick, get old or die, because then your problems had crystallised into the unforgivable sin. Failure.
Evelyn Anthony
-
Not only do they offend thee, O Lady, who outrage thee, but thou art also offended by those who neglect to ask thy favors ... He who neglects the service of the Blessed Virgin will die in his sins ... He who does not invoke thee, O Lady, will never get to Heaven ... Not only will those from whom Mary turns her countenance not be saved, but there will be no hope of their salvation ... No one can be saved without the protection of Mary.
Bonaventure
-
When you attack the roots of sin, fix your thought more on the God you desire than on the sin you abhor.
Walter Hilton
-
Just because something happens to be legal does not make it moral, ethical or right. Abortion is perhaps one of the most dramatic examples of a situation where something is legal, but is very much a sin against God.
Al Barry
-
Repentance is a blessing to all of us. We each need to feel the Savior's arms of mercy through the forgiveness of our sins.
Neil L. Andersen
-
I have known good and evil, sin and virtue, right and wrong; I have judged and been judged; I have passed through birth and death, Joy and sorrow, heaven and hell; And in the end I realized that I AM in everything and everything is in me.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
-
For every sin there is forgiveness, and especially for the sins of youth.
Marcel Proust
