The Heart & Mouth

"Where sin abounds, there does grace much more abound. Rom. 5:20

Q: Do you find sin in your flesh, asserting itself and claiming the
mastery?
Q: How are you to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts? 
A: By confessing Christ in your flesh; “for 
--with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, 
--and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Rom. 10:10
 
Thus: sin comes like a cruel slave driver, claiming you as its victim; The old slave master may crack the whip to frighten you into submission, but you say with glad confidence, “O Lord, truly I am Thy servant; Thou hast loosed my bonds.” Ps. 116:16. It is impossible for a man to be overcome while holding fast this confidence." E.J. Waggoner
