3. THE FALL OF MAN

　Sin entered into man and caused him to fall. See diagram below.

(1) Sin caused man’s spirit to be deadened:
“And you, being dead in your offenses and sins.”Ephesians 2:1

(2) Sin caused man’s mind to rebel:
“And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by evil works.”Colossians 1:21

(3) Sin caused man’s body to sin:
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.”Romans 6:12
　The fallen man is like:
　A damaged and untunable radio which cannot receive and play music, but rather meaningless noise.

　A cup that has fallen into the gutter still having its original fine form but now covered with mud.
