What the Bible Really Says About the Old Sin Nature

B21L4 What does the Bible really say about the old sin nature — and why can't good works fix it? In Romans 3, Paul reveals the root problem isn't just what we do, but who we are as sons of Adam. ✝️ In this verse-by-verse study of Romans 3 and Romans 6, the teaching digs deep into one of the most important doctrines in all of Scripture: the trichotomy of man — body, soul, and spirit. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Genesis 1:26-27, and Romans 8:5-7, this lesson explains exactly what happened to Adam at the Fall, why every person born into the world inherits a sin-bent personality, and why no amount of human effort can fix what only God can restore. 📖 Key Topics Covered: • What does it mean that man is made in the image of God? — Genesis 1:26-27 • Body, soul, and spirit explained — 1 Thessalonians 5:23 • Why Adam's spirit died at the Fall — and what that means for us • The carnal mind is enmity against God — Romans 8:5-7 explained • Why good works and religion cannot regenerate a dead spirit • Identification with Christ's death and resurrection — Romans 6:5-6 • The "kernel of wheat" illustration — John 12:23-24 • What it means that old Adam is "crucified" but still present 🔑 Romans 3:23, Romans 6:5-6, Romans 8:5-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Genesis 1:26-27, John 12:23-24, Hebrews 4:12 — trichotomy of man, old sin nature, carnal mind, identification with Christ, spiritual death, regeneration by the Holy Spirit, sons of Adam, divine nature.
