YOU

condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil.

2. From Growing in Christ [1 Peter 5:5 God resisteth the
proud, and giveth grace to the humble.]

in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be
glory both now and for ever. Amen.
3. From Serving Christ [Rm. 6:11-20]
II. SIN WILL HAUNT
YOU
1. In the Daytime [Is. 57: 20-21]
But the wicked are
like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
2. At Nighttime [Dt. 28: 58, 66-67] If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written
in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD
THY GOD;… And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day
and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: In the morning thou shalt
say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were
morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the
sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
3. Until Death [Rm. 7:14-25]
