The Rescue

The problem of the modern world isn't so much the sin as it is an ignorance of sin altogether. How can a person be forgiven if they do not believe they have done anything wrong in the first place? This is a struggle, and it is probably man's worst condition. All other things can be dealt with: sinfulness, neglect, laziness, conceit- providing that the person deep down knows they are not "altogether right" or "could do so much better". A man who is drowning is in bad shape. A man who is drowning and believes he is actually on dry land is worse still.
