The Convicted Sinner
"It is of great importance that the sinner should be made feel guilty, and not the impression that he is unfortunate. Do not be afraid to show him the breadth of the divine Law, and the exceeding strictness of its precepts. Make him to see how it condemns his thoughts and life. By a convicted sinner, I mean one who feels himself condemned by the Law of God as a guilty sinner. I remark that the Law is the rule, and the only just rule by which the guilt of sin can be measured…Every man need only consult his own conscience faithfully and he will see that it is equally affirmed by the mind’s own intuition to be right" – Charles Finney
