Commentary on Psalms 66:18

Theological / Devotional

If I regard iniquity. An axiom in Christian experience. In order for prayer to be acceptable to God, it must be coupled with a purpose to forsake all known sin (see Prov. 28:9; Isa. 1:15; 58:3–5; cf. Ps. 34:15; John 9:31; James 4:3). “When it is in the heart to obey God, when efforts are put forth to this end, Jesus accepts this disposition and effort as man’s best service, and He makes up for the deficiency with His own divine merit”.
