They have looked to Christ to be delivered not only from the punishment, but from the power of sin. For them, therefore, to continue in it that grace might be displayed in its forgiveness, would be not only wicked but absurd. It would be acting against the great object of their desires and efforts.

We, that are dead to sin; that have, from a discovery of its evil and malignant nature, heartily renounced it and separated ourselves from it.
