Karl Barth's The Faith of the Church: A Commentary on the Apostles' Creed According to Calvin's Catechism is a must own.
Everything in God's rejection and reprobation is a "lie" at the core of its rebellion against God's eternal Yes. It is against the order of God and as such qualifies as vanity and ultimately "nothingness."
Understanding this, Barth the preacher rarely ever presents "law" before "gospel." For it is only in the grace of the gospel that one can respond to the former reality found in the law.
"It would be sad if theology were trying to facilitate things and invent a Christianity without Christ's resurrection. And if we should find it difficult to believe, rather than modifying the message let us pray God that he gives us faith, through his Holy Spirit." — Karl Barth
Sin is always ever against God. But it is also against God's purpose for man.
