Theme: Basic Theology
So, one of the basics of theology is to understand how great my sin and misery are. If I am a sinner, where did sin come from? Paul says in Rom 5:12 "....just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned."
- Sin came into the world through our great forefather - Adam. But where did his sinfulness come from?
- The Heidelberg Catechism (Question 9) says: God so created man that he was able to (live without sin). But man, at the instigation of the devil,in deliberate disobedience robbed himself and all his descendants of these gifts.
- But praise God. If sin came into the world through one, it can be taken away by One. (Rom 5:19: "...also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.")
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, since I am by nature unable to know or love you, please show me that the weakest inclination I have to love you is as a result of your Spirit's regenerating work in me. All praise to you! Amen
