The Inclination to Sin
• Sin is the universal problem for humanity
(Romans 3:21-23), [It is why God’s redemptive work is necessary], “But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
• Sin is a consequence of Freedom of Choice
• As God created us in His image (cf. Genesis 1:27), He allows us to determine for ourselves the direction our lives will take
• This is a great gift
• God calls us by the gospel, its power is not a compulsory one, it is persuasive.
(Romans 1:15-17), “So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
• The capability of humanity to reject and rebel against God is disheartening and alarming
• It is the predominate characteristic of the majority
• It is something that each and everyone of us has done
• It can happen in a moment
• Consider how quickly sin became common to mankind
Explore the origins and consequences of sin, rebellion, and deceit outlined in Genesis, debunking the myth of depravity and emphasizing human capability for righteousness. Through biblical references and examples, the concept of inclination versus inevitability is discussed, leading to the conclusion that sin can and must be addressed according to Romans.
