Your state is not at all to be measured by the opposition that sin makes to you, but by the opposition you make to it.
John Owen (1772). “A practical exposition of the CXXX. psalm: Wherein The Nature of the Forgiveness of Sin is declared, the Truth and Reality of it asserted; and The Case of a Soul distressed with the Guilt of Sin, and relieved by a Discovery of Forgiveness with God, is at large discoursed”, p.371
