V. Depravity
Although man was created in the image of God (: 2:17) he fell through sin and that image was marred (; ).
In his unregenerate state, he is void of spiritual life, is under the influence of the devil, and lacks any power to save himself (; ).
The sin nature has been transmitted to every member of the human race, the man Jesus Christ alone being excepted (; ).
Because of the sin nature, man possesses no divine life and is essentially and unchangeably depraved apart from divine grace (; ).
Man fell through sin and that image was marred
The Fall
:8-24
Some of being in God’s image remains, but the flesh is strong and we are born with a sin nature
We are predisposed to sin
All will sin!
We will freely choose sin, since that is the nature of fallen man.
The unregenerate state
1. is void of spiritual life
Dead in Trespasses and Sin
What did God say would happen when Adam and Eve sinned?
Did Adam and Eve die?
Gen 3:
Physically, not at that moment.
Later, they did
Gen 3:21
Spiritually they died instantly.
2. is under the influence of the devil
Eph 2:2
Following the prince of the power of the air
The Sons of DIspo
3. lacks any power to save himself
If God’s Spirit didn’t call and draw us, nobody would even seek God
Romans 3:10-12
The sin nature has been transmitted to every member of the human race, the man Jesus Christ alone being excepted
Because of the sin nature, man possesses no divine life and is essentially and unchangeably depraved apart from divine grace
IL: Have you ever heard someone say they are turning over a new leaf?
What about New Year’s resolutions, why do we do them?
People long for a better version of themselves.
Unfortunately, our sin nature leaves us so marred, we can’t truly make a real change, going from spiritual death to life, apart from a work of God’s grace.
Implications:
We are helpless.
We are lost and dead.
We need a Savior!
THANKFULLY God took on flesh and became that Savior!
He paid the price we couldn’t pay!
