No one was ever saved because his sins were small. No one was ever rejected on account of the greatness of his sins. Where sin abounds grace shall much more abound.
However long you may have continued in rebellion, and however black and long the catalog of your sins yet if you will now turn to God by a sincere repentance, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall not be cast out!
God is not glorified in any transaction upon earth so much as in the conversion of a sinner.
All my theology is reduced to this narrow compass: "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners!"
It will never do to plead sin as an excuse for sin, or to attempt to justify sinful acts by pleading that we have an evil heart. This instead of being a valid apology, is the very ground of our condemnation.
Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.
It is as natural and reasonable for a dependent creature to apply to its Creator for what it needs, as for a child thus to solicit the aid of a parent who is believed to have the disposition and ability to bestow what it needs.
[Archibald Alexander]
