Here’s a good follow-up to the previously-posted advice of Jonathan Edwards to Deborah Hathaway, this from the same letter:
Be always greatly abased for your remaining sin and never think that you lie low enough for it. But yet be not discouraged or disheartened over it, for, though we are exceedingly sinful, yet, “we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous,” the preciousness of whose blood, the merit of whose righteousness, and the greatness of whose love and faithfulness, infinitely overtop the highest mountain of our sins.
—Jonathan Edwards, A Sweet Flame: Piety in the Letters of Jonathan Edwards, ed. Michael A. G. Haykin (Reformation Heritage Books, 2007), 44.
