There’s two extreme views on the idea of original sin. They are summarized by the following two quotations.

▪ "In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart" (Anne Frank)
Or
▪ "The condition of man… is a condition of war ––of everyone against everyone," (Thomas Hobbes)

Most of us fall somewhere along the spectrum between the two, depending on one’s desire to fatally accept the position, or inject one’s self-will into reality for doing good.

The Bible doesn’t help the altruistic very much…
“For there is no distinction: all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by…” (Romans 3: 23-24)

Now, there is some hope, if you are a seeker of justification…

Why do humans even bother to obey laws? There seems to be 5 reasons:

1. They believe in fairness and prefer to live in an equitable world
2. They desire to avoid negative consequences … like imprisonment
3. They always want to be sure they are doing the “right” thing
4. They believe it’s the only way to to maintain a stable society
5. They believe there is a future spiritual reward for those who do

But the Bible says very plainly that God’s law is impossible to be obeyed … all humans will eventually break all or most of it…
If you belong to Christ…you already know this …
even if you haven't done anything about that… yet…

In twenty-first century culture, “belonging” to someone means that a person has made a choice –– about devotion, identity, loyalty –– to another person or group – as a personal choice. As long as that relationship is maintained by the person, the “belonging to” continues.
That is not the way it is in Biblical Christianity. “Belonging to” Christ means to be THE PROPERTY of Christ. He owns the ones belonging to Him. The Bible uses the Greek word, “doulos" (δούλος), which we (rightly, historically-remorseful) Americans purposely translate “servant” … but its correct, accurate translation is “slave”.
(Matthew 25:21) “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’ “
In the spiritual realm, this is a very good thing. Mere humans should not be roaming around that sphere on their own. There are adversaries there, that are not content on merely injuring us –– they desire to consume us!
As a Doulos of Christ, they cannot lay a claw upon us…
