Quote of the Week: Watson
Sunday, August 1, 2010 at 04:11PM A believer at death is freed from sin; he is not taken away in, but from his sins; he shall never have a vain, proud thought more; he shall never grieve the Spirit of God any more. . .Death smites a believer as the angel did Peter, and made his chains fall off. . .Believers at death are made perfect in holiness. . . Oh! What a blessed priviledge is this, to be without spot or wrinkle; to be purer than the sunbeams; to be as free from sin as the angels! This makes a believer desirous to have his passport and to be gone; he would fain live in that pure air where no black vapours of sin arise.
Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity, quoted in Hebrews by Richard D. Phillips. (Chapter 42 Hebrews 11:13-16)

This is a wonderful quote, and something I've been thinking about a lot during the last few weeks. "Oh! What a blessed privilege is this, to be without spot or wrinkle; to be purer than the sunbeams; to be as free from sin as the angels!" Thrilling thought!!!
A stirring quote, especially after our study today. Imagine living in that "pure air where no black vapours of sin arise!"
