God removes the sin of the one who makes humble confession, and thereby the devil loses the sovereignty he had gained over the human heart.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sin pulls a man down into despondency and despair.
Sin leads to wickedness and to hearts that become hardened to things of the Spirit.
Theology is the logic of the Devil.
When you believe in God, you've got to believe in the all-powerful God. He's not just God, He's the all-powerful God and He has total control over everyone's life. The Devil, on the other hand, is a real character that's trying his hardest to tear your life apart.
It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us.
Was it not through pride that the devil became the devil? Christ wanted to serve. The devil wanted to rule.
One is punished by the very things by which he sins.
The devil is busy and trying to distort and adulterate the things that are the pure essence of God.
It is a revenge the devil sometimes takes upon the virtuous, that he entraps them by the force of the very passion they have suppressed and think themselves superior to.
He that falls into sin is a man; that grieves at it, is a saint; that boasteth of it, is a devil.
