Be very sure of this – people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it too well; they understand that it condemns their own behavior; they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment. They try to believe it is false and useless, because they don't like to believe it is true.

CONFESSION 11

HOLINESS

Whatever I do in word or deed, I do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. I discipline my body and bring it into subjection. Whether I eat or drink, or whatever I do, I do it all for God’s glory. My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit dwelling in me. He is of God; I am not my own; I am bought with the blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore I glorify God in my body and spirit which are God’s. I am dead to sin but alive unto God through my Lord Jesus Christ. I do not allow sin to rule my body that I should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither do I yield my members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. I yield myself unto God, as one resurrected from the dead, and my members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Sin does not have dominion over me.
