Overemphasis and Underestimation

I have come to the conclusion that theological divisions among Christians generally come from overemphasizing and/or underemphasizing certain teachings. I have also concluded that there is only one "subject" that cannot be overemphasized, and that is Jesus Christ.

I've also come to think that there are two huge parallel subjects that we commonly underestimate. We underestimate the extent of sin, and we underestimate the extent of grace.

Sin has enormous and far-reaching consequences. It is personal, but also corporate, generational, cultural, national, etc. It touches absolutely everything with unimaginable ruin.

At the same time, God’s goodness and love freely given in the gospel of his grace has enormous and far-reaching consequences. It is everywhere always present and evident if one has eyes to see it. It hopes for, promises, and guarantees unimaginable redemption, restoration, and glory.
