Three Truths and a Lie About Sin
If you don’t have a good working definition of what “sin” is, then you probably won’t have a very good definition of the Gospel. In this powerful exploration of sin and grace, Brock challenges us to confront the depth of our human nature. Our “Popular” verse for the day is Romans 6:23, reminding us that while 'the wages of sin is death,' God offers us the gift of eternal life. In this message, Brock challenges us to see sin not just as actions, but as a fundamental part of our being - a 'virus' in our spiritual hard drive. This perspective invites us to approach our struggles with humility and constant vigilance. We're all a paradoxical mix of 'glorious ruins,' both image-bearers and moral failures. This understanding calls us to extend grace to others and ourselves, recognizing that the line between saint and sinner runs through every heart. As we grapple with our shortcomings, we're reminded that God's love doesn't diminish with our sins. Instead, where sin abounds, grace abounds even more. This message encourages us to embrace our need for a Savior, finding hope in the unconditional love of God.
