What Did Sin Spoil?
What Did Sin Spoil?Chapter 2 — People, Sin and the Promise
Lesson 11: What Did Sin Spoil?Sin spoiled our relationship with God, with others, and with all of creation.
Explanation
Sin did not spoil only a small corner of human life; it brought a break everywhere. The relationship with God was broken, relationships between people filled up with guilt and quarreling, and the whole creation came under pain and death.
That is why the world does not work the way it should. Only God can restore what sin has spoiled.
Bible story
After the fall, Adam and Eve hide from God and blame each other. A little later, Cain kills his brother. The Bible quickly shows that sin does not stay small, but breaks fellowship with God and damages the bonds between people.
Remember
- The truth: Sin spoiled our relationship with God, with others, and with all of creation.
- Sin brings separation, guilt, and real brokenness.
- The world needs not just repairs on the surface, but God’s salvation.
Isaiah 59:2
“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”
