EP 189 | 70% of Evangelicals Believe This About Sin…But the Bible Says Otherwise | Redeeming Truth

What if one of the most basic truths of Christianity is widely misunderstood? A recent State of Theology survey revealed something surprising:70% of evangelicals agreed with a statement about sin that directly contradicts Scripture. That raises a serious question: Do most Christians today understand what the Bible actually teaches about sin? In this episode of the Redeeming Truth Podcast, the pastors respond to several shocking survey results and walk through what Scripture really says about human nature, guilt, and God’s holiness. Because here’s the reality: Most people assume humans are basically good… But the Bible says something very different. By examining passages such as Psalm 51, Romans 5, James 2, and Ephesians 2, this conversation explains why a low view of sin always leads to a low view of God—and ultimately a misunderstanding of the gospel itself. When we see sin the way the Bible describes it, the grace of Christ becomes far more amazing.
