3. THE FALL OF MAN

Sin entered into man and caused him to fall. See diagram below:

1. Sin caused man's spirit to be deadened:
   "And you, being dead in your offenses and sins." Ephesians 2:1
2. Sin caused man's mind to rebel:
   "And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by evil works." Colossians 1:21
3. Sin caused man's body to sin:
   "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts." Romans 6:12

The fallen man is like:
A damaged and untunable radio which cannot receive and play music, but rather meaningless noise.
He is also like:
A cup that has fallen into the gutter still having its original fine form but now covered with mud.

4. MAN CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF

Throughout history, man has tried every possible way to escape sin, but he has found that:

• Good works cannot save him from sin.
• Education cannot save him from sin.
• Ethics cannot save him from sin.
• Chanting cannot save him from sin.
• Religion cannot save him from sin.

This picture of man simply depicts the battle between his good nature and his evil nature.
