How evil is the sin that a believer allows to abide in his or her heart? Here at least is John Owen's estimation, with which I agree, and which I think accords with Holy Writ:
"There is inconceivably more evil and guilt in the evil of [a believer's] heart that doth remain, than there would be in so much sin if [he or she] hadst no grace at all."
In other words, sinning against the light, mercy, grace, love, power, wisdom, truth, and authority of the Father, Son, and Spirit is infinitely grievous.
