"I warrant you it is a humbling day when a man gets to understand that for every idle word that he has spoken, he will be brought to account; and when he hears again that his desires and imaginations will all come under divine scrutiny. How startled is the purest mind when it understands that whosoever looks upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart, so that even glances of the eye and thoughts of the heart are offenses of the Law. The Law of God takes cognizance of the entire nature, and reveals the evil, which lurks in every faculty. The mere imagination of sin is sinful- the very concept of it, albeit that we should reject it, and never carry it into act, would still be a stain upon our minds, and render us impure before the thrice holy God. This is one of the first works of the Law- to show us what spotless purity demands, and to reveal to us the matchless perfection, which alone can meet its requirements".
Charles Spurgeon- Spurgeon Gold compiled by Ray Comfort
