Kasemann on the Root Sin

I came across an interesting thought from Ernst Käsemann in my reading today:

“To undertake to preserve independence over against God is the root sin…”

Ernst Käsemann, “‘The Righteousness of God’ in Paul” in New Testament Questions of Today (Philadelphia: Fortress, 1969) 180.

How true!

A Quote from Telford Work

“With sin’s entry into the world, the gift begins to vanish into corruption. Knowledge ironically produces not further revelation, but hiddenness and isolation (Gen 3:8-9).”

-Telford Work in Living and Active, p. 38.
