Discussion: June 2: Bakit Maraming Politicians Ay Corrupt? - Inherited Corruption - Romans 5:12

365 Daily Devotions: Seminary Edition


💁🏻 Concept: Inherited Corruption
Inherited corruption, also known as original pollution, refers to the sinful nature we all receive from Adam. We are not sinners because we sin; we sin because we are sinners by nature. This means:
1. We totally lack spiritual good before God.
2. We are totally unable to do spiritual good apart from grace.
Our thoughts, desires, and actions are naturally bent away from God—we are spiritually dead until He makes us alive.
