A.B. Simpson delivers a powerful sermon on Isaiah Chapter 2, emphasizing the stark contrast between sin and salvation. He vividly describes the nature of sin as a weight that drags us down, a disease that corrupts, and a provocation to God, while also highlighting the merciful promise of salvation through repentance and obedience. Simpson calls for a genuine response to God's invitation to reason together, assuring that though our sins are scarlet, they can be made white as snow through His grace. The sermon culminates in a call to embrace a life of obedience, which leads to the blessings of God.

A.B. Simpson expounds on Psalm 32, emphasizing its instructional nature regarding sin, salvation, trouble, and guidance. He defines sin through four terms: transgression, sin, iniquity, and guile, illustrating the profound consequences of each. Simpson contrasts these with God's provisions for salvation: forgiveness, covering, non-imputation, and the expulsion of guile, highlighting the transformative power of God's grace. He encourages believers to seek divine guidance and to rejoice in the blessings of salvation, urging them to live in the fullness of God's love and instruction.

Charles Finney emphasizes that any form of sin persisted in is fatal to the soul, arguing that true obedience to God requires the abandonment of all known sin. He explains that persistence in sin, whether through habitual actions or unconfessed transgressions, undermines one's relationship with God and contradicts the essence of true repentance and faith. Finney warns against the delusion of self-righteousness, where individuals believe they can be justified while knowingly indulging in sin. He stresses that genuine faith must lead to a transformation that eradicates sin, and that neglecting any duty or indulging in any sin ultimately leads to spiritual death. The sermon calls for a complete surrender to God, urging believers to forsake all forms of sin to attain true salvation.
