(Arthur Pink, “An Honest Heart”)

“Behold, I am vile!” Job 40:4

Sin is the Christian’s heaviest

burden–and his greatest grief.

“We are lying if we say we have fellowship

�with God–but go on living in darkness.”

��� 1 John 1:6

Repentance is not only a sorrowing for

sin–but also a turning away from it;

the throwing down of the weapons of

our warfare against God.

If we truly love God, we will . . .

� forsake our sins,

� abandon our idols

� and mortify our lusts.

An honest soul cannot do otherwise;

anything short of that would be hypocrisy.

The upright man is the one who “fears

God–and turns away from evil.” Job 1:8

  1. “You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, and the LORD will be with you.”
    –2 Chronicles 20:17
