Veni, Domine Jesu - Come, Lord Jesus

"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return:
To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance." - Isaiah 45:22-23 (ESV)

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)

"Blessed is the one whose transfression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit." - Psalm 32:1-2 (ESV)

Thomas Watson - The sins that we commit and the sins that heathens commit

That which may make us blush, is that the sins we commit are far worse than the sins of the heathen. We act against more light. To us have been committed the oracles of God. The sin committed by a Christian is worse than the same sin committed by an heathen, because the Christian sins against clearer conviction, which is like weight put into the scale, which makes it weigh heavier.


- Thomas Watson (The Doctrine of Repentance, Chapter 4)
