How the Scriptures Help Us Against Sin

Summary: We profit from the Word when the Word convicts of sin (Isaiah 6:5) — when the Word makes us sorrowful over sin (Romans 7:24) — when the Word leads to confession of sin (Psalm 32:3-5) — when the Word produces a deeper hatred of sin in him (Psalm 97:10) — when the Word causes him to forsake sin (2 Timothy 2: 19) — when the Word fortifies against sin (Psalm119:11) — when the Word causes him to practice the opposite of sin (1 John 3:4).
