How are Christ’s true followers to be distinguished from those of the devil?
“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin” ([1 John iii,] 9).
“He that committeth sin is of the devil” ([8]).
Judged by this standard what is the comparative strength of these sovereigns’ subjects?
“There is no man that sinneth not” ([1 Kings viii, 46]).
“There is not a just man upon earth” ([Ecclesiastes vii, 20]).
“There is none righteous, no, not one” ([Romans iii, 10]).
