sin against
7.First, look for a sense of inevitability about the sin......Second, scrutinize pleas you make to excuse and tolerate a sin within you......Third, note the frequency with which sin eludes mortification......Fourth, determine if you argue against sin only because you fear punishment......Fifth, watch lest God‘s chastening punishment hardens your heart......Sixth, take heed lest sin turns your heart from God......If so, only way to get out is by prayer and fasting.
