The greatest thief

Back to CHOICE QUOTES

Sin is the greatest thief, the greatest robber in the world.
It robbed the angels of all their glory. It robbed Adam of
his paradise and felicity. Sin has robbed all mankind of
five precious jewels, the least of which was more worth
than heaven and earth.

1. Sin has robbed them of the holy and glorious image
of God, which would have been engraved upon them,
had Adam not fallen into sin.

2. Sin has robbed them of divine sonship—and has made
them slaves of Satan.

3. Sin has robbed them of divine friendship—and made
them enemies to God.

4. Sin has robbed them of communion and fellowship with
God—and made them strangers and aliens to Him.

5. Sin has robbed them of their glory—and made them vile
and miserable.

Oh! the health, the wealth, the honor, the friends,
the relations—which sin has robbed thousands of!
