"The Jarring Interests of Heaven Reconciled by the Blood of the Cross" (1814), The Writings of Elder John Leland p.401 (1845).
THE DEVIL SINNED from the beginning; was the first sinner, and therefore sin is called his work. The Devil is a liar, a deceiver, and a sinner. But Jesus destroyed his lying, by speaking the truth; his deceit, by sincerity; the sin which he introduced, by holiness of life, and by suffering for sin; bearing sin in his own body on the tree, and thereby making an end of sin in one day. |
