Romans 3:9 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under

sin, 10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one…

 23 for all have sinned and fall short

of the glory of God, 

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE WHEN WE SIN

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of

any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We

may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You

shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you

die.’  

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE WHEN WE SIN

” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good

and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for

food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.

host of them.

day—

 Genesis 3:8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the

garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid

themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God

called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the

garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE WHEN WE SIN

 

11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded

you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is

this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

no one does good, not even one.”

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE WHEN WE SIN

13 “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to

deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their

lips.” 14 “Their mouth is full of curses

and bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed

blood; 16 in their paths are ruin and

misery, 17 and the way of peace they have

not known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before

their eyes.”

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

Exodus 15: 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named

Marah. 24 And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall

we drink?”

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

Exodus 16:2 And the whole congregation of the people of

Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, 3 and the

people of Israel said to them, “Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat

pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this

wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

Exodus 17:3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people

grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?”

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

Exodus 32:1When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and

said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not

know what has become of him.”

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

“The heart of all this evil is idolatry itself. It is the de-godding of God. It is the creature swinging

his puny fist in the face of his Maker and saying, in effect, ‘I’ll be

by own god!’ Small wonder that the sin most frequently said to

arouse God’s wrath is not murder, say, or pillage, or any other

‘horizontal’ barbarism, but idolatry—that which dethrones God. That is also why, in every sin, it is God who is the most offended party.”

D.A. Carson

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

Psalm 51:3 For I know my transgressions,

and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I

sinned and done what is evil in your sight,

so that you may be justified in your words

and blameless in your judgment.

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

Jeremiah 2:11 Has a nation changed its gods,

even though they are no gods? But my people have

changed their glory for that which does not profit.

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters,

and hewed out cisterns for themselves,

broken cisterns that can hold no water.

malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving

kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not

because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to

his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the

Holy Spirit,

PURSUED THROUGH GRACE FOR RESTORATION

 

6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7

so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according

to the hope of eternal life.
