1. The transgression of the wicked. His
daring and wanton sin; his breaking the bound of law and justice. Saithwithin my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. Men’s sins
have a voice to godly ears. They are the outer index of an inner evil. It is
clear that men who dare to sin constantly and presumptuously cannot respect the
great Judge of all. Despite the professions of unrighteous men, when we see
their unhallowed actions our heart is driven to the conclusion that they have
no religion whatever. Unholiness is clear evidence of ungodliness. Wickedness
is the fruit of an atheistic root. This may be made clear to the candid heart
by cogent reasoning, but it is clear already and intuitively to the pious
heart. If God is everywhere, and I fear him, how can I dare to break his laws
in his very presence? Those eyes which have no fear of God before them now will
have terrors of hell before them forever.
