   May 1, 2024 · Sin reverses all three foundational functions and purposes of life to which we were created: it breaks a trusting fellowship with God, decides by one’s own authority what is right or wrong, and alienates from the Lord’s presence. Thus, evil separates from God, and isolates us from Him.

   Is sin an alien power?

   Are humans born with a sinful nature?

   • Humans are born with a sinful nature, and consequently born as sinners separated from God and in need of salvation. As sinners we love and produce sin, and our sinful nature is characterized by selfishness, tendencies to evil, propensities to sin, and inclinations to do wrong. The power of sin enslaves us (Rom. 5:6; 6:6, 7, 14; 7:25).

   What is the root of sin?

   Can God free us from enslaving sin?

   • And praise be to God, the Lord Jesus Christ is able to free us from enslaving sin. “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
