Sin darkens the soul. It is a cloud, a thick cloud, that spreads itself over the face of the soul and intercepts all the beams of God's love and favor. It takes away all the sense of the privilege of our adoption, and if the soul begins to gather up thoughts of consolation, sin quickly scatters them." (John Owen, The Mortification of Sin)

Great quote by Owen. That's probably the most concise Owen gets.
