The universal human condition: We have all sinned (1.8)
- So what is to be done about it?
2 Options:
- Ignore it (1.8)
- Ignoring our sin may make us feel better, but it does not change reality
- We may fool ourselves, but we are not fooling God
- Acknowledge it (1.9) 2 Ways:
- Acknowledge it and work on your own to put it right
- Acknowledge it and trust in the death of Jesus to atone for it (2.2)
Take Home Idea: Jesus’ atoning sacrifice has made possible a new pattern of living. We will still sin, but we no longer live under the power of sin
