Sin a Provocation and a Misery
Psalm 145:8
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.


: —

I. THE PROVOCATIVE POWER OF SIN. God is susceptible of provocation.

1. He is not cold intellect.

2. He is not indifferent to moral conduct.

3. His nature revolts at sin.

4. However great His displeasure, He controls it.

II. THE MISERY-PRODUCING POWER OF SIN. It has turned our Eden into a vale of tears.

(David Thomas, D. D.)
