All Things for Good by Thomas Watson

Added by Postmilstill archive ·

Sin is like a poison, which corrupts the blood, infects the heart, and without a sovereign Antidote, brings death. Such is the venomous nature of sin, it is deadly and damning. Sin is worse than hell, but yet God, by His mighty overruling power, makes sin in the issue turn to the good of His people. Hence the golden saying of Augustine, 'God would never permit evil, if He could not bring good out of evil.'' - Thomas Watson
