Regeneration Enables Obedience
- The root cause of omissions is a barren, unregenerate heart lacking the new nature.
- Only regeneration and the Holy Spirit can remove spiritual barrenness and produce obedience.
Conscience Overlooks Omissions
- Conscience often detects acts of commission but frequently overlooks omissions.
- Unnoticed omissions may be as sinful as visible vices and will be judged.
Idleness Produces Spiritual Ruin
- Laziness multiplies omissions; many are too idle to pursue repentance or faith.
- Spiritual indifference leads people to 'sleep into damnation' through neglect.
