It is not just that we are rebels and fools. Sin makes us moral quadriplegics. We are fundamentally unable to do what is right. Which of us could say that our anger toward our friends has always been righteous? What husband could say he has always loved his wife as Christ loves the church? What person consistently loves his neighbor as himself? We fail at these things even when we desire to do right, because our moral muscles have been atrophied by sin. We simply cannot do the good we were created to do. This is one of the most tragic results of the ultimate disease, sin.
