YOU MUST RECEIVE A NEW SPIRIT TO ENTER THE KINGDOM Adam and his wife arent the only sinners. Every child born after Genesis chapter three has been born in Adams SINFUL image (Gen. 5:3). All men are natural sinners upon being born into the world: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Romans 5:12. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psalm 51:5. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. Romans 3:10. Men are no longer made in Gods image. In fact, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself said Ye are of your father, the devil... in John 8:44. God is not a sinner, so sinners are not Gods children. Sinners are natural-born children of the Devil. Paul writes in Ephesians 2:2 that lost sinners are children of disobedience. Why? Because we naturally receive a SIN NATURE at birth. In addition to this, we must also realize that we cannot rid ourselves of this corrupt sin nature. We are stuck with a fallen image of unrighteousness. Unless God works a miracle in our lives, we are absolutely hopeless--forever doomed to the eternal fires of Hell. We cannot earn our Salvation by performing righteous works, because our righteousness is no good. Isaiah 64:6 tells us that our righteousness is like filthy rags! Instead of being clean in the eyes of God, men are FILTHY, because of the sin nature in us all. God is holy, but we are unholy. He is Godly, but we are ungodly. He is righteous, but we are unrighteous. Our sin nature stands like a brick wall between us and God, separating us from His dear fellowship.
