True Confession of Sin
January 8, 2010
Saving conviction extends itself to all sins, not only to sin in general, with this cold confession, I am a sinner: but also to the particulars of sin, yes, to the particular circumstances and aggravations of the time, place, manner, occasions, of the sin performed; to the nature of sin, as well as practice. There must be no baulking of any sin; the sparing of one sin, is a sure argument that you are not truly humbled for any sin.
John Flavel, Husbandry Spiritualized: or, The Heavenly Use of Earthly Things in The Works of John Flavel (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1997), 5:64.
