Reformed, Book Reading, Apple Loving, Beverage Snob, 23 Year-Old Husband, In Need of Grace.

 

The malice of the act was base and I loved it — that is to say I loved my own undoing, I loved the evil in me — not the thing for which I did the evil, simply the evil: my soul was depraved, and hurled itself down from security in You into utter destruction, seeking no profit from wickedness, but only to be wicked.

-Saint Augustine, Confessions

Augustine had a HUGE view of sin and a HUGE view of grace. We should see our sin as a huge problem and God’s grace (through Christ’s atonement) as a HUGE answer.
