“There must be a constant and increasing appreciation that though sin still remains it does not have the mastery.

It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin.”

“We (believers) still have the presence of sin, nay, the stirrings and workings of corruption. These make us to have many a sad heart and a wet eye. Yet Christ has thus far freed us from sin; it shall not have dominion.
