OUR SIN, OUR SAVIOR || Week 5

Stop with me for a moment and try to imagine what our world would be like if Adam’s fall had never happened. What would a world with no injustice, no violence, no fear, no selfishness, no perversion, and no confusion be like to live in? And what would my own life look like? A life without anger, or resentment, or shame or strife? No battling with unhealthy compulsions, no deep secrest, no fear or gender confusion? Just a deep sense of peace, wonder and contentment in fully knowing who I am and the daily enjoyment of being a close friend of God. But the first family rejected God’s offer of partnership and now we are all infected with some form of that original sin. It has made the world a dark and difficult place and left us all lost and in need of a savior. And that longing you sometimes feel in your soul is the mark of heaven upon you.
