Watson Quotes on Sin

The natural heart is the nursery of sin, the magazine where all the weapons of wickedness lie, full of antipathy against God, a lesser Hell! 

Morality is but nature refined old Adam put in a better dress. The garnishing of man with moral excellencies, is but adorning a dead man with a garland of flowers! 

Civility is not grace, although it is a good wall against which to plant the vine of grace. 

If a wicked man seems to have peace at death it is not from the knowledge of his happiness, but from the ignorance of his danger! 

God's long forbearance in not punishing of sin, is not forgiveness! The longer God delays the blow the heavier it falls when He strikes! 

The sinner may live in a calm, but he will die in a storm of wrath! 

Sin makes the soul red with guilt and black with filth! 

The love of sin makes sin taste sweet this sweetness beguiles the heart and ruins the soul. It is worse to love sin, than to commit it. The love of sin hardens the heart, keeps the devil in possession, and freezes the soul in impenitence. 

View sin in the looking glass of Christ's sufferings! The least sin cost His blood!

[Thomas Watson]
