The biblical authors never speak softly about our sin. Paul does not hesitate to describe us as “dead in . . . sins” (Ephesians 2:1), nor does John to call us “blind” (1 John 2:11). In Jesus’s eyes, even the most generous among us are nevertheless “evil” (Luke 11:13). We should not flinch, then, to apply to our pre-Christian selves the infamous lab...
Total depravity becomes a more difficult doctrinal pill to swallow when we consider some of its implications. For example: in our fallen state, we cannot submit to God (Romans 8:7), we cannot please God (Romans 8:8; Hebrews 11:6), and most striking of all, we cannot do good (John 15:5; Romans 14:23). “No one does good,” Paul tells us — “not even on...
In ourselves, we are totally depraved; in God’s sight, we are wholly displeasing. Those two facts, taken together, lead us to a third: without Christ, we are hopelessly condemned. The judgment, in fact, has already begun. Paul writes, “The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men” (Romans 1:18). Is rev...
The portrait of humanity under sin is a bleak one — so bleak that many would prefer to forget it altogether. Yet we do so at the cost of our deepest comfort. When those in Christ heed Paul’s command to remember, and allow our sin to overshadow us, we arrive at a place we do not expect: not outside of Eden, with cherubim guarding the entrance; not b...
5 days ago · Romans 6:23. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”. This verse juxtaposes the dire consequence of sin—death, with the gift of God—eternal life in Christ. Without Jesus, we are on a trajectory towards death; with Him, we receive the unmerited gift of eternal life.
Jun 29, 2018 · In Hebrews chapter 10: 23-25 we read: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near ...

Oct 18, 2022 · The first sola is Christ alone. All of our salvation, including our justification, comes from Christ Jesus, not from anyone or anything else. “‘Just Jesus’ is a sky full of stars more than we can count.”. The Reformers labored to express what Christ alone meant in the context of the heavy-handed, burdensome requirements of the medieval ...

Often, the path to intimacy is paved with honesty, so if you’re losing faith in God, start by telling Him about it. He won’t shame you or condemn you. He’ll meet you right where you are—in your doubt, your resentment, and in all your feelings. He is a good Father, and He cares about your concerns. So be honest.
