It was also to reveal to man his utter depravity. Most people forget this one. Or they lie to themselves. We like to think of ourselves as free moral agents with a miniature angel of our self on one shoulder and a miniature devil of our self on the other. We being the free moral agent between the two trying to choose what to do in a given situation or temptation. Actually we are only the miniature devil by nature. We have occasional tendencies to be good when it pleases or suits us. Or if we can benefit from it somehow. But the real change in us is when we believe in Jesus and the Holy Spirit takes up residence in us. Now we still have every opportunity to choose the old devil nature. But we have for the first time in our lives the opportunity to choose actual good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
