The Corrupting Curse and the Persistent Promise

"If we miss the biblical emphasis on the goodness of God's original creation, we will also fail to see the blasphemy of sin for what it truly is: a rebellion against God and his good gifts, a rebellion from the loving word of God, a rebellion that brings discord and fracture into God's creation. Sin is never normal or natural. It never fits. Knowing the cure tells you a lot about the gravity of the disease. In the cross we see what was needed to cure the wound of sin, and we see to what lengths God was willing to go to cure it." –Michael D. Williams, Far As the Curse Is Found
