"We never see sin aright until we see it as against God....All sin is against God in the sense: that it is His law that is broken, His authority that is despised, His government that is set at naught....Pharaoh and Balaam, Saul and Judas each said, 'I have sinned'; but the returning prodigal said, ' I have sinned against heaven and before thee'; and David said, 'Against Thee, Thee only have I sinned.'"
