"The ordinary man may feel ashamed of doing wrongs: but the saint, endowed with a superior refinement of moral sensibility, and keener powers of introspection, is ashamed of being the kind of man who is liable to do wrong." N.P. Williams, The Ideas of the Fall and of Original Sin (1926)
Sin is not just something we do; it is a power deeply rooted in our nature.
This is why we all need a new nature...something outside of ourselves that applies to us...someone who takes away all condemnation...someone who gives new life.
