Hello Victor, Thank you so much for your post, have gained a whole lot from them. I will be commenting on the power of sin as stated from your post.
The power of sin does remind me of how man lost his innocence and inherited the “sin nature” after the fall of man. It is so amazing to know that Adam and Eve were created perfect (holy and without a sinful nature) but its also sad to know that they lost all this perfection out of just a simple disobedient to the instruction given to them by God. I can remember from one of our classes in this course the instructor mentioned that the “Glory of God” departed from them after they sinned, such is the power behind sin. You can lose so much that is so invaluable just from sinning against God. Thank God for the Gift of the Holy Spirit to us, Who will continually enable us to constantly renew our mind in other to be free of the sin nature inherited down to us.
Another interesting thing that gives me so much pleasure is that the same way we inherited the sin nature at our natural birth is the way we inherited the righteousness of God at our new birth (2 Corinthians 5:17) independent of our actions. Hallelujah!!!
