Sins of Heart
1 John 1:8-10
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.…


Motives that seem to you as white as the light may prove, when seen through His prism, to be many coloured. Aims that seem straight as a line may, when tested by the right standard, prove indirect and tortuous. We shall find at last that, in many cases, what we have thought devotion was indevout; what we have thought love was struck through with the taint of selfishness; what we have thought faith was utterly vitiated with the poison of unbelief.

(C. Stanford, D. D.)
