"Sinners when we sin" Weren't we all born sinners? & doesn't the bible say sin veils us, making us unable to see/choose God? It literally says we can't do that Rom3:23

  • Well not literally. Without having Christ in our hearts, sin veils us from his light. We must seek out his light in order to be saved from these sins. That's the reason Jesus died on the cross for us, so that we could be saved from our sins. Here is a commentary on the passage by Matthew Henry: [quote]3:21-26 Must guilty man remain under wrath? Is the wound for ever incurable? No; blessed be God, there is another way laid open for us. This is the righteousness of God; righteousness of his ordaining, and providing, and accepting. It is by that faith which has Jesus Christ for its object; an anointed Saviour, so Jesus Christ signifies. Justifying faith respects Christ as a Saviour, in all his three anointed offices, as Prophet, Priest, and King; trusting in him, accepting him, and cleaving to him: in all these, Jews and Gentiles are alike welcome to God through Christ. There is no difference, his righteousness is upon all that believe; not only offered to them, but put upon them as a crown, as a robe. It is free grace, mere mercy; there is nothing in us to deserve such favours. It comes freely unto us, but Christ bought it, and paid the price. And faith has special regard to the blood of Christ, as that which made the atonement. God, in all this, declares his righteousness. It is plain that he hates sin, when nothing less than the blood of Christ would satisfy for it. And it would not agree with his justice to demand the debt, when the Surety has paid it, and he has accepted that payment in full satisfaction.[/quote]

  • But he does, everything there explains how we can pursue God through sin because of Jesus. And no I haven't.
