  1. A man may be in God’s favour though he feel sin; but not if he yields to it.
  2. Abhor sin far more than death or hell; abhor sin itself, far more than the punishment of it.
  3. It is love excluding sin; love filling the heart, taking up the whole capacity of the soul.
  4. The body dies when it is separated from the soul; the soul, when it is separated from God.
  5. We know everyone who has peace with God, through Jesus Christ, has power over all sin.
  6. The world is the men that know not God, that neither love nor fear him.
  7. Sin is then overcome, but it is not rooted out; it is conquered, but not destroyed.
