The Doctor: the Understanding of, Not the Doing of Sin Brings the Greatest Joy

An inadequate understanding of our sinfulness is probably the greatest single cause of our failure to rejoice always in the Lord always, and to realize that this message is the greatest good news the world has ever received. …The positive road to joy is always via the depth of sin. …It ought to be impossible for us to use the word ‘gospel’ without bursting forth, as it were, into a hymn of praise and thanksgiving.  – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Romans Vol. 1, pp. 58, 59
