When we are lepers in our own eyes!
Thomas Watson, "The Doctrine of Repentance
"Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices!" Ezekiel 36:31
A true penitent is a sin-loather. If a man loathes that which makes his stomach sick, much more will he loathe that which makes his soul sick! It is greater to loathe sin—than to leave it.
The nauseating and loathing of sin, argues a detestation of it.
Christ is never loved—until sin is loathed.
Heaven is never longed for—until sin is loathed.
When the soul sees its filthiness, he cries out, "Lord, when shall I be freed from this body of death! When shall I put off these filthy garments of sin—and be arrayed in the robe of Your perfect righteousness!
Let all my self-love be turned into self-loathing!"
We are never more precious in God's eyes—than when we are lepers in our own eyes!
The more bitterness we taste in sin—
the more sweetness we shall taste in Christ!
