Having read key passages in Romans and knowing something about the history of the doctrine of original sin, let’s reflect on this issue. As we said earlier, the Christian agreement on this doctrine is that there was something flawed and broken in humanity that was redeemed and reconciled in Jesus. The way we are flawed, and the way that “we have now received the reconciliation” (Romans 5:11 NIV) are a matter for open discussion.

  1. What’s the first thing you think of when you hear “original sin”? What have you heard at church or in Bible studies on this subject?
  1. What do you hear in Paul when you read Romans 5? What can you say for certain of your situation before Christ and what He has done to redeem you?
