Quote to Consider
Herman Hoeksema on Lord’s Day 24: “Sin is still present with [the believer], and it operates in his members. Always it attempts to gain its former lordship over him, but all that is within him according to his inner man hates and abhors the service of iniquity. Sin is not dead, but he is dead to sin. His entire attitude toward his former lord has radically changed. He is converted. For the sin that still operates in his members and always attempts to divert the vehicle of his life and walk into the old ruts of unrighteousness, he humbles himself before God daily, repents in dust and ashes, and confessing his sins before God, he has no rest until he has found forgiveness anew in the blood of the Lamb. This is the answer to those who allege that the doctrine of justification by faith without works makes men careless and profane. This is utterly impossible, for we are justified by a true and living faith in Christ, and in Christ we have both justification and sanctification in inseparable connection with each other. Therefore a careless and profane Christian is an utter impossibility” (Abundant Mercy, p. 228).
