Dear Friends,
Have you ever talked with someone about God’s wonderful plan of
salvation only to have them ask something like this: “But isn’t sin
really God’s fault?” That’s not what the Bible teaches as today’s
attached devotional shows. God bless you!

Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Ecclesiastes 7:29 (ESV)

  29 See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.

“There was not a wrong pin in the tabernacle of human nature, when God set it up, however shattered it is now. Man was then holy in soul, body, and spirit; while the soul remained untainted, its lodging was kept clean and undefiled; the members of the body were consecrated vessels, and instruments of righteousness.” [Thomas Brooks, Human Nature in Its Fourfold State, (Grand Rapids: Associated Publishers and Writers, Inc., n.d.), p. 11]
