 The sinfulness of sin

“The sinfulness of sin” by J.C. Ryle

“No proof of the fullness of sin, after all, is so overwhelming and unanswerable as the cross and passion of our Lord Jesus Christ and the whole doctrine of His substitution and atonement. Terribly black must that guilt be for which nothing but the blood of the Son of God could make satisfaction. Heavy must that weight of human sin be which made Jesus groan and sweat drops of blood in agony at Gethsemane and cry at Golgotha, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’

Nothing, I am convinced, will astonish us so much, when we awake in the resurrection day, as the view we will have of sin and the retrospect we will take of our own countless shortcomings and defects. Never until the hour when Christ comes the second time will we fully realize the sinfulness of sin.”

–John Charles Ryle, Holiness

 Re: The sinfulness of sin

Amen. I read about half of a book by this title, "The Sinfulness of Sin", by the puritan, Ralph Venning. It was excellent, but I may have loaned it out prematurely.

I recently began Ryle's "Holiness", which is excellent as well.

Thanks, TJ.
