About this episode

This episode explores the Fall of our first parents as discussed in the Baptist Catechism, examining the implications of sin and its effects on humanity.

In this episode, we continue our walk through the Baptist Catechism with Question 16: Did our first parents continue in the estate wherein they were created? Before diving in, we briefly review our last two episodes — God's works of providence (Q14) and the Covenant of Life God established with Adam (Q15). From there, we get into the Fall itself, examining what Scripture says about the freedom of the will, God's foreknowledge, and why God is never the author of sin. We then walk through what humanity lost in Adam's fall — a darkened mind, holiness, freedom, rest, and communion with God — and close with practical application for believers today.
