How has mankind been affected by sin?

Physically—Disease and death were introduced into this world as a direct consequence of man’s sin

Gen 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die”

Rom 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”

Geophysically—Many features of the Earth’s surface that allow for such tragedies as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, violent thunderstorms, etc. can be traced directly to the Great Flood of Noah’s day

Gen 6:12-13 “And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh…

Gen 6:12-13 …is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth”

Culturally—communication problems that man experiences, (languages) are a result of sins.

Gen 11:1-9 “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the…

Gen 11:1-9 …land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone…

Gen 11:1-9 …and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name…

Gen 11:1-9 …lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded…

Gen 11:1-9 …And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them…

Gen 11:1-9 …which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD…

Gen 11:1-9 …scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the…

Gen 11:1-9 …LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth”

Psychologically—Man generally is without the peace of mind for which his heart longs.

Isaiah 59:8 “The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace”

Isaiah 57:21 “There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked”

Spiritually—By sinning, man separates himself from God.

Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear”

Matt 23:33 “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”

Rev 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death”

Rev 22:18-19 “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the…

Rev 22:18-19 …plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the…

Rev 22:18-19 …book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book”

Man’s sin results in an eternal separation from God unless remedied.

Has God provided such a remedy? Yes, He has.

John 6:29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent”

Rom 5:6-8 “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even…”

Rom 5:6-8 “…dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”

1 John 4:9-10 “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins”

Rev 22:17 “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely”

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”

Rom 8:32 “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”

God provided the remedy through Jesus Christ

Phil 2:5-8 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon…”

Phil 2:5-8 “…him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross”

God offered the remedy to Paul.

Gal 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me”

Phil 3:7-8 “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ”

John 14:21 “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him”

John 14:23 “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him”

John 15:10 “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love”

Matt 7:13-14 “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it”

All have been affected by sin. Physically Geophysically Culturally Psychologically Spiritually

1 Tim 2:4 “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”

2 Pet 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance”

1 John 1:5-6 “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth”

God offers the remedy to you.

1 John 5:13 “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God”

Matt 10:32 “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven”

Acts 8:22 “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee”

Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned”
