The Inherent Sinfulness Within Humans Because They Are Originally Sinners
Unveiling the Enduring Sinfulness of Humanity: The Overflowing Nature of
Sins from Within
Deep within the soul of every human being lies a well of
sins, a reservoir waiting to spill over at the slightest waver in our earthly
existence. Imagine this cup as the embodiment of a person's sinful soul, and
whenever that person falters, the sins within this cup overflow.
“If God puts no trust in His saints, And the heavens are not
pure in His sight,
16 How much less man, who is abominable and filthy, Who
drinks iniquity like water!”
They flow ceaselessly as individuals traverse the world,
perpetually dripping sins throughout their entire lives. Humans commit sins in
this world because they are inherently consumed by sin, a collective mass of
transgressions.
Most individuals remain unaware of the true nature
of their sinful selves. Despite carrying a heart laden with sin and
perpetually engaging in transgressions throughout their lives, they often
proclaim, "I am not inherently lustful. External influences have led me
down this path. I am not intrinsically immoral; I just need to cleanse myself
of the sins I have committed."
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually.”
Can Repentance Prayers Eliminate Sin?
They believe that by constantly wiping away their sins
through virtuous deeds or repentant prayers, they can eradicate their inherent
impurity. But does the sin not spill over again when they try to wipe it away?
It indeed does spill over. The heart of a person, a reservoir of sin,
inevitably manifests sinful behavior. No matter how meticulously one cleanses
the external facade, it remains futile if the heart is burdened by sin.
Regardless of how much effort one invests in polishing their
external demeanor, whether through ethical conduct or moral actions, it becomes
meaningless if the heart is tainted by sin.
Throughout their lives, individuals commit sins such as
murder, adultery, theft, and more, fueled by a heart consumed by darkness.
Hence, humans perpetuate a multitude of sins, scattered here and there,
throughout their entire existence.
“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our
righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our
iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
Humans Try Tirelessly to Conceal Their Sinful Nature
In their pursuit to conceal their true selves, humans strive
tirelessly, oblivious to their inherent nature as a mass of sin. Let us imagine
a scenario: when a person's heart spills out a small portion of sin, wiping it
away only leads to a greater overflow. They find themselves constantly using a
handkerchief, towel, and even a carpet to cleanse themselves, yet no matter how
many times they attempt to remove the flowing sin, it remains unclean. We
continue to drip sin until our last breath.
Humans persist in committing immoral acts until the moment
of their demise. Thus, to attain salvation, one must accept Jesus as the Savior
who saves them from their sins. In order to receive the remission of sins,
individuals must first acknowledge their true nature.
Only Those Who Acknowledge Their Sinfulness Can Be Saved
Consider two individuals with identical sins within them,
symbolized by two cups brimming with water. One person looks at themselves and
realizes, "I am inherently lewd," giving up the pursuit of
self-improvement and seeking the Savior. The other person, unable to confront
the mass of sin within, believes they are somewhat virtuous.
The individual who believes in their inherent decency spends
their entire life trying to wipe away their sins. They carefully conceal the
overflow of sins, striving to hide the fact that they are fundamentally a mass
of sin. Living cautiously, however, proves futile in attaining salvation, for
they remain unaware that such cautiousness becomes a pathway to damnation.
They unknowingly tread towards hell while living cautiously.
Such individuals are indeed sinners, committing various transgressions in
hiding, even though the overflowing of sin may not be as evident.
Do you acknowledge the presence of lewdness, wicked
thoughts, thieving tendencies, and pride within the human heart? We can witness
individuals committing a multitude of immoral acts without anyone teaching
them, proving the inherent lewdness within humanity.
The More You Advance in Years the More Sin Overflows in You
During youth, these tendencies may not be prominently
displayed, but as one grows older, there is no hiding the mass of sin within.
Constantly, sin spills out in small increments, and regret follows.
They lament, saying, "I should not have done
that," yet continue to drip sin throughout their entire life, regretting
every day. This perpetual state of sin is due to their birth as a mass of sin.
I assert that one can receive the complete remission of
sins, granted by the Lord, only if they recognize their original nature as
offspring of evildoers. When faced with the truth that Jesus has erased all
their sins through righteous acts, a person who comprehends their true nature
would believe without hesitation.
What Is the Case of Those Who Say They Committed Just A Few Sins?
Conversely, a person who claims, "I have only committed
a limited amount of sin and not as much as others," fundamentally rejects
and disbelieves the fact that Jesus, through baptism, took upon Himself all
their sins and carried them to the Cross.
However, those deserving of salvation receive the remission
of sins by believing they are entirely a mass of sin and by embracing the Truth
that the Lord has perfectly resolved all sins on the Cross after His baptism in
the Jordan River.
I emphasize that whether one has received the remission of
sins or not, we are living in gross misunderstanding of ourselves. If our Lord
has eradicated all the sins of humanity through baptism and His blood, then we
are free from sin. By believing in this truth, we receive the remission of
sins.
God Establishes a New Covenant
Hence, God established a new covenant, proclaiming,
"Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD when I
will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of
Judah" (Jeremiah 31:31). This signifies God's intention to replace the
old covenant with a new one.
