This is an important message for today, when most people believe they are basically good, and only need a little (or lot of) self-improvement. Herman Bavinck, in his Reformed Dogmatics, describes the extent of sin in the human nature in this way: "Sin began with an act but penetrated the very nature of humans and corrupted them totally. It may not be a substance, but it is not merely an act either. It is an inner moral corruption of the whole person, not only of one’s thoughts, words, and deeds but also of one’s intellect and will; and again not only of these faculties but also of the human heart, from which all iniquities flow, of the central inner core, the root of one’s existence, the human self.”
Intellectually stirring and soul-sobering. Thank you, James Dolezal!
