A Walk Through Westminster | Chapter 6

This sermon examines Chapter 6 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, focusing on the doctrine of the fall of man and the nature of original sin. It explores how Adam and Eve's disobedience resulted in the loss of original righteousness and communion with God, leading to a state of total depravity that affects all humanity. The teaching emphasizes that the guilt of Adam's sin is imputed to his descendants, while a corrupt nature is transmitted through ordinary generation, excluding the Lord Jesus who was born of the Virgin Mary. The sermon addresses the persistence of indwelling sin in believers, warning against the error of perfectionism, and identifies all sin as a transgression of God's law that brings guilt and misery. Ultimately, it highlights the necessity of Christ as the last Adam, who reverses the curse through his suffering and death, offering redemption and the renewal of God's image in believers.
