	Original Sin  There are two kinds of sin: original sin and actual sin.  Original sin is that total corruption of our whole human nature which we have inherited from Adam through our parents.  
Ps 51:5; Jn 3:6; Rm 5:12; Eph 4:22
Original sin has brought guilt and condemnation to all people and has left everyone without true fear and love of God, that is, spiritually blind, dead, and enemies of God, and causes everyone to commit all kinds of actual sins.

1. Chief of sinners though I be,
Jesus shed His blood for me;
Died that I might live on high,
Lived that I might never die,
As the branch is to the vine,
I am His, and He is mine.
2. Oh, the height of Jesus' love!
Higher than the heavens above,
Deeper than the depths of sea,
Lasting as eternity.
Love that found me--wondrous thought!-
Found me when I sought Him not.
3. Jesus only can impart
Balm to heal the smitten heart;
Peace that flows from sin forgiven,
Joy that lifts the soul to heaven;
Faith and hope to walk with God
In the way that Enoch trod.
4. Chief of sinner though I be,
Christ is All in all to me;
All my wants to Him are known,
All my sorrows are His own.
Safe with Him from earthly strife,
He sustains the hidden life. 
5. O my Savior, help afford
By Thy Spirit and Thy Word!
When my wayward heart would stray,
Keep me in the narrow way;
Grace in time of need supply
While I live and when I die.			
	Tue	Actual Sin is every act against a commandment of God in thoughts, desire, words, or deeds.

	Wed	Law and Gospel: Forgiveness
God offers the forgiveness of sins only in the Gospel, the good news that we are freed from the guilt, the punishment, and the power of sin, and are saved eternally because of Christ’s keeping the Law and His suffering and death for us.  
Jn 3:16; Rm 1:16; Rm 10:4; Gal 3:13; Col 1:13-14	
	Thurs	Law v. Gospel
A.  The Law teaches what we are to do and not to do; the Gospel teaches what God has done, and still does, for our salvation
B. The Law shows us our sin and the wrath of God; the Gospel shows us our Savior and the grace of God.
C. The Law must be proclaimed to all people, but especially to impenitent sinners; the Gospel must be proclaimed to sinners who are troubled in their minds because of their sins.
