Sin has thoroughly diseased us, and poisoned our very blood.
Sin has diseased our understanding, so as to disable it from
receiving the truth.
Sin has diseased our conscience, so as to make it dull and heavy,
and undiscerning of right and wrong.
Sin has diseased our imagination, polluting it with every idle,
foolish, and licentious fancy.
Sin has diseased our memory, making it swift to retain what is
evil, slow to retain what is good.
Sin has diseased our affections, perverting them from all that is
heavenly and holy, and fixing them on all that is earthly and vile.
“But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for
our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon
Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5
