The Ohio Independent Baptist, June 1962

oug ts on • 1n By Homer E. Graven Pa tor Fir t Barpti t Avon Ohio "For all have inned and come hort of the glory of God . . . ." Romans 3: 23). This pa age teaches us that in is univer al. It i the umrnation of all ,at bas been given in Roman 1: 18-3 :120. Lt in·form u that all living !ople have sinned and are inning. God would have everyone, regardless of 1ce, color, or citizenship to know hi true relationship to h is Creator. i one of in and di obedience to God holy commandment . It mea n 1at every un ·aved per on i a rebellious subject to Almighty God, hi Creator . Let u take a closer look at the text. It giv~ us two great trumh . The r t one is that "all have inned ' ' and the second one i that all ' come 1oft of the glory of God." The imple meaning is tbi : all are inner and 11 are fallinJg hart of God's glory. The first truth may be under tood in this way . All are born into thi arthly life as si nners. You may say, "I a little infant, only a few day old sinner?" The answer is yea, becau e the infiant is born with the Adamic in. 1at is, he has received hi inful nature from Adam. H e i a de cendent ·om the federal head of the human race. Since Adam inned in the Garden f Eden, all his descendent are born guiLty of the same condemnation and isobedience. This is what is meant when God ay "all have inned." The second truth may be under tood in thi way. Inasmuoh a all h 1 ave nned in Adam, it cannot be expected tllat they will do more tha n conitinue in n. H is descendents have no power to redeem them elve f'rom their original n, therefore, they have no power to keep them elves from continuing in in. Vhen they reach the age of accountability tihey begi n to fall hort of God lory by the praotice of in in thought, word act and deed . Only Chri t, 1rough faith in Him can forgive the inner in and lift h im up to the o ition of God's glory. r. Robert A. Cook chosen BRIARCLIFF MA OR, N . Y. ~ S) - Dr. Robert A .
