A Rule for Judging Sin

By Susanna Wesley

Would you judge of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of pleasure, of the innocence or malignity of actions, take this rule: Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things,—in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind,—that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself.—Susanna Wesley.
