Sin, Original

"The whole purpose of sin and why God allowed sin into the world is revealed only in Christ. Sin was allowed entry into the world in order that God's glorious grace may be praised in the pardoning and forgiveness of sin. Outside Christ, sin in its own nature only brings dishonour to God. But in Christ, God is seen to be a God pardoning iniquity, transgression and sin."

-John Owen, Communion With God, Pg. 93
