Our insight into the need of redemption will largely depend upon our knowledge of the terrible nature of the power that has entered our being.

The seed of every sin known to man is in my heart”.

Knowing the sin in this world’s grandest depravity.

Humanizing war?! You may as well talk of humanizing Hell. Sir John Fisher

We owe God a "double debt" incurred by our passive receipt of Adam's debt but also by our active disobedience. The extent of our depravity is such that we also owe a "daring debt" because we challenge not only God's Law but His very grace as we blame Him that He has not done enough.

when the serpent breathed the poison of his pride, the desire to be as God, into the hearts of our first parents, that they too fell from their high estate into all the wretchedness in which man is now sunk. In heaven and earth, pride, self-exaltation, is the gate and the birth, and the curse, of
hell.
