HOW SIN INVADED OUR WORLD

Rom 5:12

Truth: We inherited our sin from Adam. We sin because we are sinners. We cannot make excuses for our sin. Are you a sinner?

I. WE INHERITED OUR SIN FROM ADAM

1. Adam was created in holiness to obey God. Gen 1:27,31, Ecc 7:29, Gen 2:16-17
2. Adam broke God’s law and fell from his holy state. Gen 3: 6-7. 1 Tim 2:14
3. Adam’s sin affects us. Rom 5:12, 15-19, Rom 8:7

II. WE SIN BECAUSE WE ARE SINNERS

1. We sin by choice. Isa 53:6, Gen 6:12, Rom 3:9-12
2. We are positively inclined to evil. Eph 2:1-3
3. We are by nature utterly void of the holiness required by the law of God. Psa 51:5, Rom 3:23

III. WE CAN NOT MAKE EXCUSES FOR OUR SIN

1. We are under just condemnation to eternal ruin. Gal 3:22, Gal 3:10, Rom 6:23
2. We are without defense or excuse. Rom 2:2, Rom 3:19
3. Jesus is the only one who can take away our sin. John 1:29, 2 Cor 5:21, Gen 3:15

ARE YOU A SINNER?
