Spurgeon's Sermons Charles Spurgeon

Our next reflection is this-God Himself is the object of every transgression-and this sets sin in a terrible light. Sin frequently has our fellow men as its object. But even then I am not incorrect in what I have said, for sins against our fellow men are still sins against God. It would be well if we felt with David-"Against You, You only, have I sinned and done this evil in Your sight." Think, then, of sin as an offense against God, committed in God's Presence, committed while He is looking on. My beloved Friends, in this light observe the wantonness of sin. For who could wish to offend against a perfectly holy and entirely loving God? If God is all He should be, why do we not agree with Him?
