Product Description

Man was created in the image of God, in the righteousness and holiness of God. He was the crown of God’s creation. However, through voluntary disobedience and transgression, man fell into the depths of sin and the image of righteousness and holiness in man was marred. As a consequence of the fall of man, everyone born through our first parents (Adam and Eve) became a sinner, lost in iniquity and utterly void of the holiness of God. By inheriting the nature of sin, man became depraved, totally inclined to evil. The entire nature of man, mentally, physically, morally and spiritually, became affected by the power of sin.

The Scriptures describe the fallen nature of man in various terms. Jesus our Lord refers to sinners as ‘swine’ and ‘dogs’. The Apostle Paul refers to them as ‘dogs’ and ‘evil workers’. John the Baptist and Jesus Himself refer to them as ‘vipers’. The Scriptures characterize unregenerate man as being treacherous and full of iniquity. Their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness. Their hearts devise wicked imaginations. Wasting and destruction are in their paths. They are full of envy and covetousness.

Man is conceived in sin and grew up in sin. By nature and habit, man is a sinner. As a result of the fall of man and the nature of sin inherited, man became separated from God, totally alienated from the perfect and holy and pure God. This separation brought curses upon his life. Sorrow and shame crept in. Fear, insecurity, heartaches and manifold problems, spiritually and mentally, crept into his life.

There is absolutely nothing sinful and fallen man can do to commend himself to a righteous and holy God, except that he comes through Jesus Christ. God in His great love and mercy made provision for the redemption of mankind by sending Jesus. By the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the sinless and perfect Son of God, on the cross of Calvary, mankind was redeemed from the curse of the broken law. The sacrifice of Jesus brought about the removal of guilt and condemnation of sin, and the full redemption of man from sin.

The natural man cannot resist sin. The power of sin over natural man can only be broken by the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s the blood of the sinless Son of God that can set mankind free from sin. The Almighty God demands repentance from every sinner to avail himself of the provision of redemption from sin through Christ Jesus.

The call of God to man today is to embrace the work Jesus Christ has done on the cross of Calvary for the redemption of mankind from sin. Repent today from every wicked way and receive the forgiveness of God. Be reconciled to God and live a new life in Christ Jesus.
