By that sin fell the angels.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sin leads to wickedness and to hearts that become hardened to things of the Spirit.
Sin carries in it its own misery.
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
I know what sin is.
Sin pulls a man down into despondency and despair.
The righteousness of Jesus Christ is one of those great mysteries, which the angels desire to look into, and seems to be one of the first lessons that God taught men after the fall.
Such sins, even if they do not kill all grace in us, do harm, nevertheless; and though they are only venial in themselves, they make us apt, ready, and inclined to lose grace and to fall into mortal sin.
The only sin is mediocrity.
It is by suffering that human beings become angels.
Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
