Gracious Habits

Sin must not reign in our mortal bodies that we should obey it. Romans 6:12

Though sin may remain as an outlaw, though it may oppress as a tyrant, yet let it not reign as a king. Let it not make laws, nor preside in councils, nor command the militia, let it not be the uppermost in the soul so that we should obey it. (...) Sin lies very much in the gratifying of the body, and humoring that. (...)
As every sinful act confirms the sinful habit, so every gracious act confirms the gracious habit: serving righteousness is unto holiness, one duty fits us for another, and the more we do the more we may do for God.
