Sin is arguably the greatest power in existence but for the power of God himself. It is not only an evil but an infinite evil. It is a universal evil. Sin is not only wrong but totally wrong. It is not merely against God but absolutely and entirely against God. Sin is the contradiction of God and the antithesis of his nature. If its origin is a mystery so, too, to a great extent is its subtlety and craft. Sin is contempt for God, disregard for law, imperious selfishness and defiance of all that is good or right. Left to run its course unchecked sin would ravage the whole universe and even assault the throne of God with impunity. It knows no shame. It cares for no consequences. It heeds no bounds.
