For Adam and Eve
For Adam and Eve
The Shattering of the Imago Dei
— The Imago Dei Genesis 1:26-28
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
— Original Righteousness
— Unbroken Communion
Original Sin Genesis 3:11-13
He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
— Unrighteous before God
— Guilty Before Him
— Law Breakers
— Not able to not sin = non posse non peccare
— Sinfulness became the nature of Adam and Eve
— Genesis 3:6-7
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.
— Ecclesiastes 7:29
See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.
Broken Communion
— What God created man for was shattered
— This was what made the garden so special
— The communion between God and man, between creation and Creator. This fellowship, being the longing of every believer and the groaning of all creation, was diminished by the act of one man.
The Penalty of Sin (Romans 5:12a
Romans 5:12a (ESV)
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin,
— Death (Rob Ventura, 3 Deaths)
— Legal Death — legally dead by the standard of the law.
God could count the sinner as one who is dead before Him. Accruing for himself the wages of transgressing the law.
— Real Death — The actual, physical death of man would take place because of sin. Sin would not only effect the spirit, but would effect man naturally.
— Spiritual Death — Spiritual death would be the eternal separation from communion and fellowship, where the grace of God would no longer abound with man in body or soul. This is the place of an eternal death known as Hell. Where the eternal torment of the transgressor would take place both day and night, forever and ever because of even this one act of transgression by eating of the fruit.
— all three of these deaths, Adam and Eve earned for themselves.
— The best place to look in the scriptures on these deaths are in Romans 5-8
— Yet they were not the only recipients of this penalty.
For All Mankind
For All Mankind
Imputation of Original Sin
— The whole of mankind
— Titus 1:15
To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
Due to the Sin of Adam, Man Partakes
— In Adam’s Sin
— In their own sin
— Defiled Heart
— non posse non peccare
If Left to Self
— Man’s Sinfulness Would Have No Bounds
But God’s Grace Abounds
— He restrains the sinner from being as depraved as he could be.
Why Is the title “Our Parents” important in understanding original sin? How does this title affect our understanding of the redemption found in Christ? (Hypostatic Union)
What does it mean to be totally depraved based on this section of the 1689?
How does this section help us when we witness to others about what we believe? How does this go contrary to the world’s understanding of sinfulness?
How do you defend this belief with a passage like Ezekiel 18:20
The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
How does this glorify God?
