No Excuse for Sinning
The tempter’s agency is not to be accounted an excuse for one
wrong act. Satan is jubilant when he hears the professed followers
of Christ making excuses for their deformity of character. It is these
excuses that lead to sin. There is no excuse for sinning. A holy temper,
a Christlike life, is accessible by every repenting, believing child of
God.—
The Desire of Ages, 311
