The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The greatest sin is judgment without knowledge.
Our sin is exactly the presumption that we can know God or ourselves through our own capacities.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation upon which sincere and meaningful repentance must be built. If we truly seek to put away sin, we must first look to Him who is the Author of our salvation.
To sin offers repentance and forgiveness; not to sin offers only punishment.
That is the true definition of sin; when knowing right you do the lower, ah, then you sin. Where there is no knowledge, sin is not present.
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
Once you fully apprehend the vacuity of a life without struggle, you are equipped with the basic means of salvation.
It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
