Ruin in Eden!

"Some master in Israel who wanted to help the memories of his hearers has said that the three things to be preached above everything else are the three R's- Ruin, Redemption, and Regeneration. He spake wisely and well. How will men seek salvation if they do not feel their ruin? Where is their salvation save in the atoning blood? What is salvation but being created anew unto holiness? It is a noteworthy fact that, in Holy Scripture, there are three third chapters which deal with these things in the fullest manner. The third of Genesis reveals Ruin; the third of Romans teaches Redemption; the third of John sets forth Regeneration."

C.H. Spurgeon p 22; The Teachings of Nature in the Kingdom of Grace.

Mr Spurgeon asked; "How will men seek salvation if they do not feel their ruin?"

Liberal Christian theology which abounds in our present 'enlightened' age, broadcasts the message that "God loves the sinner, but hates the sin."

On this message A.W. Pink writes:

"One of the most popular beliefs of the day is that God loves everybody, and the very fact that it is so popular ought to be enough to arouse suspicions of those who are subject to the Word of Truth. God's love toward all His creatures is the fundamental and favourite tenet of Universalists, Unitarians, Theosophists, Christian Scientists, Spiritualists, Russellites, etc....

It has been customary to say God loves the sinner, though He hates his sin. But that is a meaningless distinction. What is there in a sinner but sin?  To tell the Christ rejecter that God loves him is to cauterize his conscience, as well as to afford him a sense of security in his sins.

Of this message, Pink said "perhaps the late D.L. Moody (Arminian) - captivated by Drummond's 'The Greatest Thing in the World' did more than anyone else last century to popularize this concept."

Some years back, it took me sometime to get my head around the fact that the saying under consideration is not Biblical, yet how many think otherwise? Again, is this not due entirely to a false understanding of John 3.16?
