We are dead until He...Calvin is right on this one.<br /><br />We are dead until He makes us alive. <br /><br />Even after He makes us alive, the old Adam in us wants to return to that darkness all the time. That's the spiritual warfare. God trys to keep us in the light and keep us in faith. It truly is a battle.<br />That's why the 'external Word' is so important.<br /><br />A Word that comes to us from outside of ourselves and is not tainted by the internal machinations of the old man within.<br /><br />That's where the Sacraments come in. Luther understood that much better than did Calvin.Steve Martinhttp://theoldadam.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
