If human beings are born with a fallen nature, what right does God have to judge us?
This is an important question. Did God create us as sinners? Does He condemn us simply because we were born into a fallen world? Or does God judge us according to the choices we personally make?
To answer these questions, we must first understand what sin is.
A small book titled Life of Victory makes this important observation:
“We can never appreciate the wonders of atoning grace unless we understand the awful ravages of the evil which made the atonement necessary.”
What made the atonement necessary?
The answer is sin.
Unless we understand the seriousness of sin, we cannot fully appreciate God’s grace. We will not understand what Jesus experienced to rescue us and give us eternal life.
Today, therefore, we will consider an important question:
Is sin something we possess simply because we were born, or does sin involve our personal choices and actions?
