“Sin is essentially selfishness. It is difficult to determine what the essential tial principle of sin is. What makes man sin? Is it pride, unbelief, disobedience, ence, or selfishness? Scripture teaches that the essence of godliness is love of God; is not the essence of sin the love of self?” - Henry C. Thiessen. Lectures in Systematic Theology.
