CONVICTION of SIN 認罪

It is a universal law of the higher life that the better a man becomes, the more sensitive he is to sin.

Christian maxim

這是屬靈生命中放諸四海皆準的定律：一個人越長進，就對罪越敏感。

As the heart is more washed, we grow more sensible of its remaining defilement; just as we are more displeased with a single spot on a new coat than with a hundred stains on an old one.

John Berridge

當我們的心越被洗滌潔淨時，我們越能察覺殘留的污穢；就像我們可以忍受舊外套上的無數瑕疵，卻不能忍受新大衣上的一個斑點。

No man begins to be good till he sees himself to be bad.

Thomas Brooks

未知己惡，焉能成其為善。

The greater the saint, the greater the sense of sinfulness.

G. B. Duncan

上善者，越知己惡。

Christ is not sweet till sin be made bitter to us.

John Flavel

未覺罪惡苦澀，焉知基督甘甜。

When men begin to complain more of their sins than of their afflictions then there begins to be some hope of them.

Matthew Henry

若人苦惱自己的罪多過埋怨自己的難處，那他就有藥可救了。

I have no other name than sinner; sinner is my name, sinner is my surname.

Martin Luther

除了「罪人」我別無他名；「罪人」是我的名，也是我的姓。

The recognition of sin is the beginning of salvation.

Martin Luther

知悉罪惡正是救恩的開始。

You cannot command convictions of sin to come when you like.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne

罪疚扎心的感覺，不是你想有就能有的。

Conviction of sin is essentially an awareness of a wrong relationship with God.

J. I. Packer

對罪的扎心，說到底，就是意識到自己與神的關係不對了。

In review of God's manifold blessings, the thing I most seem to thank him for is the conviction of sin.

Friedrich Tholuck

回顧神那樣豐富多樣的恩典，我發現自己最感恩的，竟是祂讓我為罪扎心。

Until a man has got into trouble with his heart he is not likely to get out of trouble with God.

A. W. Tozer

除非一個人被自己的心折磨到不行，否則他很難解決他和神之間的問題。

No man can feel sin, but by grace.

Thomas Watson

若非恩典，無人知罪。
