Wait, what?? The reality of our sin nature is good news!?
In today’s episode, Brandon, Liv, and Matt tackle the topic of original sin and how the Bible paints an accurate (and freeing) picture of our slavery to sin. Pulling from chapter 2 of Not Home Yet (Brandon and Liv’s book), the group unpacks the truth that we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves. Interestingly enough, part of our slavery to sin is our desperate attempts to liberate ourselves. The world constantly sells us various products and systems that promise to help us surpass our limitations and faults. We end up on an endless chase, always trying to find “the thing” that will enable us to break the chains that bind us. The reality of how hopeless our condition is ends up being good news because we can finally give up the chase, acknowledging that there’s no point! Then, and only then, are we able to hear God when he offers us a different way forward.
We pray this conversation blesses you with a freeing picture of reality.
