“Is it not enough to make any heart to tremble, to think of being brought into that estate wherein he would have slight thoughts of sin? Slight thoughts of grace, of mercy, of the blood of Christ. of the law, heaven, and hell, come all in the same season. Take heed, this is that which your lust is working toward —the hardening of the heart, searing of the conscience, blinding of the mind, stupifying of the affections, and deceiving of the whole soul.”
— John Owen
