On this week’s episode, Abe Mahner joins us as we talk about the doctrine of sin. At Wildwood, we believe and teach that according to Genesis 1, all mankind was created in the image and likeness of God, and designed to reflect the character of their Creator. But, through Adam humanity sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. Romans 3:11-12 is clear, “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” This is a serious topic but know, even as we talk about the doctrine of sin, we don’t believe that this is where the story ends! Through Jesus we can have our sins forgiven, and we can receive His perfect righteousness through faith in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21)! Romans 6:23 is clear, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Join us as we discuss the seriousness of sin and the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
