DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the deceitfulness of sin, tracing its origins
to the serpent and highlighting its role as the root of all deceit in
the world. He explains how sin degrades and pollutes the soul, making it
unlike God and more akin to Satan. Brooks warns that sin robs
individuals of God's image, holiness, beauty, glory, and righteousness,
ultimately declaring that sin is 'peccatum est Deicidium'--a killing of
God, as illustrated by the crowd's cries to crucify Jesus.

"The deceitfulness of sin." Hebrews 3:13

Sin . . .

has its original from a deceitful subtle serpent,

is the ground of all the deceit in the world,

is the great deceiver of souls.

Sin . . .

debases the soul of man,

defiles and pollutes the soul of man,

renders the soul most unlike to God,

who is the best and greatest;

renders the soul most like to Satan,

who is a very sea and sink of sin!

Sin robs the soul of . . .

the image of God,

the holiness of God,

the beauty of God,

the glory of God,

the righteousness of God.

Sin is peccatum est Deicidium--a killing of God!

"But they kept shouting--Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"

Luke 23:21
