Understanding the Nature of Man (040)

Why does man sin? What is it that leads or drives man to sin? The scriptures tell us that all mankind is born under the power of sin. But there is one underlying issue that we need to consider first.This episode opens the first of the five walks with Jesus by showing the walk that all people in the world follow. All mankind are sinners and subject to sin. The first of the five walks is walking in sin, which is where every persons starts.It is important to understand this as it gives us insight into what we are trying to escape, and the magnitude of the struggle we all face. And this first part of the walk of sin is to consider the nature of man. By nature, man is sinful and sin is part of our human nature. That is why it is such a battle to overcome, and why we cannot do it alone. But there is a way through Jesus that will be opened up in due course.
