1. Consider the greatness of the sin of Unbelief. It is such a sin as offers injury and wrong to All-God. It wrongs all the attributes of God. As Faith doth honour all Gods attributes: It is said of Abraham, that — He gave glory to God by believing, Rom. 4.20. He honoured his Mercy, his Wisdom, his Power, &c. So on the contrary, unbelief is such a sin, as wrongs all: The Wisdom, Power, Mercy, Truth and Justice of God.
