Man, the Idol — John R. W. Stott (1921 - 2011)
For the essence of sin is man
substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God
substituting himself for man. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself
where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself
where only man deserves to be. Man claims prerogatives which belong to God
alone; God accepts penalties which belong to man alone.
