“Biblical faith, in the end, begins and ends with a simultaneous love for the Savior and a hatred for sin. Without either component, faith never leaves the ground. If we profess to love Jesus Christ but never deal with our sin, we are lost, unforgiven by the Father, and will not enter heaven. If we hate our sin but never run to Christ to receive His atoning grace, we have no remission of sins and we will not see eternal life. The Spirit must propel each of these doctrines into the sinful heart and mind if we are ever to know the grace of God and the glory of true Christianity.”
From Jonathan Edwards on True Christianity

I will go all the way, Jesus and I are now one and that is pretty close. I love Jesus and hate sin and all these people who believe that man must always sin is really frustrating me at the moment. There is so much false doctrine out there, I just don’t see how the few will overcome if God doesn’t help us drastically.
