Romans 9- Nyanjwa

When Adam sinned, he suffered a complete moral fall. He placed himself in direct antagonism to God, and in perfect accord with Satan. His sin was not the light thing that many suppose, but a complete renunciation of allegiance to God, and as complete a surrender to Satan. If he had been left to himself, his desires would have been as fully toward the ways of the devil as are those of the fallen angels. But God in his mercy interposed. The plan of salvation provided not only a way of escape from sin, but the desire to escape. And so God said to the serpent, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed.” Genesis 3:15. Whatever desire for a higher and holier life any man has is due to the mercy of God. God has implanted in the soul of every man some knowledge of right and wrong, and some natural desires for the right; and whenever a man gives himself wholly to sin, he does so only by resisting the strivings of the Spirit. 739 / 783 So it is that to Christ we are indebted for every good not only in fact but in possibility. So it is that Christ is the “true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” John 1:9. Thus it is that Christ is made unto us, “wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” 1 Corinthians 1:30. And so the true child of God, while continually growing in grace, patiently continuing in well-doing, and steadily rising to new heights of holiness, will ever exclaim, “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14. And when all the redeemed stand at last before the throne of God, and see his face, their whole ascription of praise will be “unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.” Revelation 1:5.
