Sin Entered the World - CityView Church Alvin
The Origin and Nature of Sin
Everyone at some point has encountered the concept of sin, but what exactly is sin and how did it enter the world? At CityView Church Alvin, we delve into the profound understanding of sin and its implications on our lives.
Sin can be traced back to the early days of humanity, specifically in the biblical story of Adam and Eve. According to religious texts, God created the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, and placed them in the Garden of Eden. They were given free will and were living in a state of harmony with God.
However, a pivotal moment occurred when Adam and Eve made a conscious choice to disobey God's commandment, which resulted in the introduction of sin into the world. This act of disobedience was a turning point in human history and led to the tarnishing of the purity that once existed.
The Effects of Sin
The entry of sin into the world had significant consequences, impacting every aspect of humanity's existence. It severed the close relationship between man and God, creating a divide that required redemption and reconciliation.
One of the immediate effects of sin was the realization of human vulnerability and mortality. The perfection and immortality previously enjoyed by Adam and Eve were replaced with pain, suffering, and ultimately death. Sin introduced imperfection and the need for salvation.
Additionally, sin resulted in a corruption of human nature. It brought forth a tendency towards selfishness, greed, envy, and various other vices. This inherent inclination towards sin has become an ongoing struggle for humanity.
