The Merciful Sight of Our Tender Shepherd
"They also do no iniquity: they walk in His ways." [Psalms 119:3] How can it be said that those who "keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart" do not sin? The Holy Spirit clearly states: "they also do no iniquity: they walk in His ways." We know that everyone sins; we …
