Question 14
Did God create us unable to keep his law?
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, ever since the fall and our disobedience your heart has been grieved because of us. As men and women, as boys and girls, we constantly sin against you and break your just and holy law. And yet Jesus was a man; and the brightness of his glory and the perfectness of his obedience covers all our sin. Lord, teach our hearts to be always conscious of your love. Lord, forgive us our sins. Lord comfort us; Lord teach us. Amen.
