“Every person in the world is by nature a slave to sin. The world, by nature, is held in sin's grip. What a shock to our complacency- that everything of us by nature belongs to sin. Our silences belong to sin, our omissions belong to sin, our talents belong to sin, our actions belong to sin. Every facet of our personalities belong to sin; it own us and dominates us. We are its servants.” WorldPersonsActionSinSilenceTalentPersonalitySlaveServantShockSilence IsOur ActionsComplacencyFacetsOmission Author:Joel Beeke
“In essence, sin is all that is in opposition to God. Sin defies God; it violates His character, His law, and His covenant. It fails, as Martin Luther put it, to 'let God be God.' Sin aims to dethrone God and strives to place someone or something else upon His rightful throne.” CharacterLawSinFailingEssenceAimStriveOppositionThronesStrifeLutherCovenant Author:Joel Beeke
